One resource we take great advantage of for science and social studies is videos. At first it was a challenge to find videos on Netflix that would fit the bill, but after trial and error, and a few tips on a homeschooling group I am part of I figured out how to make Netflix an educational resource.
Of course if you have used Netflix then you know the search option leaves plenty to be desired. some keywords we used that did produce results, tho minimal are NOVA and discovery . But if that isn't enough try this. Go to amazon.com and search in movies and videos for the topic you want to teach, and when you find a video that meets your needs then search its name on Netflix.
This is not to say you will have 100% positive results, but it does make finding the right video easier.
On a final note, I wanted to tell you about a group I have created on Facebook for Aiken South Carolina homeschoolers , to meet, share ideas, plan field trips, swap learning material, and just get to know each other. You can click the following link if you are interested in joining that new group.

as soon as I can get to creating a banner for the group it will be posted in the side bar.
