What scientific principle that keeps coming up... and up... when designing Disney's theme park attractions? Trajectory! The Imagineers demonstrate how forces and motion play a leading role in creating rides like California Adventure's California Screamin' and Toy Story Midway Mania. Students will learn the definitions of projectile and trajectory, see how Newton's First Law of Motion relates to these principles, and how to apply the physics of motion to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Each Imagineering DVD includes a bonus try-it-yourself experiement, an interactive activity to reinforce key learnings, Public Performance Rights for classroom/educational use only and a printable educator's guide. Walt Disney believed, "If you can dream it, you can do it," and that belief is at the core of Disney Imagineering; the place where imagination meets engineering. Imagineers use science to create and build unique attractions that delight Disney guests around the globe. This award-winning series uses roller coasters, stunt shows, animatronics, and other irresistible examples to break down scientific principles in a way that is accessible for all learners. Just imagine what you could do if the whole world was your toolbox!

Exciting Science!
I love this series, and more importantly, my kids love this series. This is absolutely the best DVD series for teaching science. Exactly the right amount of repetition of the key concepts in so many fun and clever forms. The host is excellent - not a stuffy lab coat scientist but a hip, fun Imagineer who might just have the coolest job in the world. A+!

Very good
My 9 year liked this DVD so much he wanted to see others in the series but he didn't ask to see the same one over and over again. I reserve purchasing DVD's to programs the kids want to watch more than once which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. If they came in a reasonably priced complete set I might buy them.

Fantastic Educational DVD Series
It's no surprise the DVDs in this series won an award (see logo on package!). They'd win my "Gold Award" too - and I've encouraged all of the teachers I know to take a closer look. The Science of Disney Imagineering makes science exciting and relevant for students, geared towards grades 5 and up.

Real Educational Value!
It's nice to see Disney creating materials that can work for learners of all ages-- my students can enjoy it, and I can enjoy watching it with them. I think adults might even find themselves re-learning some scientific principles they may have left behind with time.

Fun & Educational!
When I went to the National Science Teacher's Association conference this year, I got to meet the host of this series--he's a real Disney Imagineer! I've since seen all the DVDs in this series and I just love it. Great for middle school physical science.

Behind the Scenes Science
This is a another great behind the scenes science show. I watched it with my teenage son and we both loved it. Real science, entertaining and a look inside the parks. Good stuff.
