I am part of the Stream Team ambassador program for Netflix. I was not compensated for my time, but I was provided product to use to facilitate my thoughts and reviews. All opinions listed are 100% my own.
Astronomy. Chemistry. Biology. Engineering. Physics. If you’re looking for science, then come to our house.
That’s what happens when you marry a scientist, have a budding little scientist/engineer and work at a technological university.
Buddy has been fascinated by science since he was a little boy, always wanting to know how things work. Like many boys, his room is full of books about dinosaurs and insects, space and the universe. When he started school last year and was allowed to take books out of the library, he usually came home with nonfiction titles, or the latest in the “Magic School Bus” series.
Speaking of the “Magic School Bus,” I had no idea that it was also a TV show! We found it available for streaming on Netflix, and Buddy can’t get enough. So far we’ve watched three episodes and learned about bees and paleontologists and spiders.
So in the spirit of all things science, I want to share 12 fun Netflix titles to inspire your little scientist, whether they’re just starting out, like Buddy, or preparing to wow the judges at the school science fair.
