Bill Nye

"Who knows better than Bill Nye that you can demonstrate big scientific ideas with small simple experiments? In Do-it-yourself science, get a lesson from Bill himself and learn how you, too, can conduct scientific research."

Talks about the many types of birds that exist, how they fly, their incredible eyesigh, how they evolved from ancient reptiles and the differences and similarities between birds and humans.

In THE PLANETS, Bill Nye gets up close and personal with each of the solar system's planets and moons. Bill goes planet gazing and takes a serious look at Jupiter's features, Earth's elliptical orbit, and the distances between planets.

In SIMPLE MACHINES, Bill careens around on a roller coaster and furiously pedals his bike on the Tour de Science to show that simple machines doing complicated things can be found everywhere.

"Thousands of earthquakes happen each year and Bill Nye the Science Guy trembles in his boots when he explains what causes them. In Earthquakes, find out what makes big pieces of the Earth's crust (the plates) move and what you should have on hand in case of a quake"--Container.

See how to conduct home experiments that transform potential energy into kinetic energy and use falling water to make energy.

It doesn't have to be Halloween for the Science Guy to bone up on the things that give the body its shape and movement. In BONES & MUSCLES, Bill muscles in to give more than just the bare bones about x-rays, the healing of broken bones, bone marrow, and the body's joints.

Bill gives students the inside scoop on planets, star, galaxies, and the universe.

In EARTH'S CRUST, Bill Nye goes to the depths of the Earth (literally) to explain how the Earth's surface and its inner mantle differ.

Bill Nye goes somewhere over the rainbow for an enlightening show as he reflects upon light and color.
