The Magic of Science
You can never go wrong with The Magic School Bus--DVDs or books. The topics are always covered in a very exciting way, and yet are still extraordinarily educational. The magic of this series is that abstract concepts (which can be very difficult for younger children) are covered in a way that the child can comprehend. I have a seven year old and a 10 year old and both will eagerly watch the movies or read the books and understand the material at their level. What a wonderful series!

Another winner
My kids both LOVE the Magic School Bus videos. My son watched one in Kindergarten and raved about it so much that we bought them all--and we've never been disappointed. We have all learned fun, new facts. The kids watch them again and again. The Rainforest episode is one of their absolute favorites.

3 for 1 Extravaganza
This volume of Magic School Bus contains 3 different stories: Holiday Special, Rainforest, and All Dried Up.
The Holiday Special is all about the importance of recycling. At one point, for example, the kids are shown how much of the Bus is from recycled products; glass and aluminum, etc.
The Rainforest story hinges around cocoa and coca trees-- something I think most kids can relate to. The kids and Ms. Frizzle head off to rainforest when they can't make hot cocoa to find up "what's up". A good explanation of the interrelationship of creatures and plants (ecology) follows.
All dried up is about the desert and how although the desert environment is hostile and difficult that there are animals and plants that live there because of their adaptations.
Though these tales are for older kids, I have been showing them to my 4 year old. She probably misses the fine nuances, but she has definitely gotten the major themes and it gives us a starting point to talk about animals and plants and why it is part of her job to help me with the recycling.
Some of the Magic School Bus stories are frenetic, by the way, but these collections seem to be less so. (i.e. they don't send my kids crawling up the wall.)
Enjoy. Educational and Fun.

typical magic school bus...
typical Magic School Bus, with the kids, Ms. Frizzle, and Dolly Parton as Ms. Frizzle's cousin. My kids love holiday videos/DVD's and they really enjoy The Magic School Bus. It was nice to have a holiday video with a science (recycling) theme.
