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.

Bill Nye becomes a real heart-throb when he talks about the not-so-wimpy organ, the heart. Valves, blood cells and the circulatory system work together to pump it up ... the heart, that is.

"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.

"In Energy, see how to conduct home experiments that transform potential energy and use falling water to make energy."--Container cover insert.

"Discover the relationship between dinosaurs and birds, and find out that rhinoceroses once lived in Nebraska. Bill also tracks down dinosaur footprints with paleontologist Grace Irby and travels to the La Brea Tar Pits to see what's underneath all that tar"--Container.

The Science Guy is running, swimming and biking--I hope he gets a chance to take a little breather! We take in good air, and blow out the bad. Without our lungs and heart, our bodies would be starved for energy, and no one can live that way!

"In Motion, Bill Nye shows how everything needs a push or pull--a force--to make it move or stop. Sometimes an object might seem to be at rest even when it is actually in motion. Confused? It's all relative--relative motion, that is."--Container.

"Some very tricky optical illusions show that the brain doesn't always correctly interpret what the eyes see. Check out Bill Nye from a whole new angle when he gets an M.R.I. of his brain"--Container.

Bill Nye illustrates how various types of transportation utilize friction from traction to ball bearings to hovercraft.

In Insects, Bill talks to special guest Queen Latifah, who's abuzz about her other favorite queens...bees. The lab kids go exploring at an insectorium and go digging for insect fossils.
