I am a Netflix Stream Team ambassador and am partnering with them to bring you this list. All opinions are my own.
It’s that time of year again…
It all starts with a science fair packet buried at the bottom of your child’s backpack. The next thing you know, that little take-home assignment suddenly becomes homework for you. Before you Google “easy science projects for kids,” we’ve got a variety of TV shows and movies that might help jump start your kids’ imaginations and get the whole family excited about a winning science fair idea.

I’m so glad Netflix was a full resource of science kid friendly shows, we are special fans of mythbusters. Also Netflix has so many great documentaries. Learning not just for the kids.
We are actually a family who enjoys science projects! Right now our oldest (4th grade) is doing a report and model of a lunar eclipse. We have been watching Cosmos as a family every week, but I would love to hop on Netflix to find some more shows that catch our interest.
Myth busters and Jimmy Neutron are big hits at my house!
