Bill Nye

Bill Nye branches out and gets to the root of the matter to explain wild things about plants, such as how they breathe, make food, defend themselves, and move their seeds.

Shows various kinds of cells, explains how cells are the building blocks of all living things and the vast number of cells in all complex organism.

With the help of guest Drew Barrymore, the Science Guy shows that flowers are more than just pretty faces. They make seeds, play a key role in pollination, and help plants reproduce.

"Did you know that nothing can move or stop by itself? 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.

"Bill Nye teaches algebraic principles such as fractions, exponents and proportions in colorful and unexpected ways...[S]tudents can discover how algebra relates to the world around us."--Container.

Bill Nye travels to Arizona's stunning Sonoran Desert to explore this unique ecosystem and demonstrate the special ways its native plants and animals flourish.

"In Storms, see what happens when huge masses of air collide. Destructive or not, storms benefit us. The tropical regions of the Earth would be too hot to inhabit -- and the subpolar regions too cold -- if we didn't have hurricanes and typhoons to distribute the Earth's heat so efficiently"--Container.

In Marine Mammals, Bill Nye explains how they are really more like humans. Listen closely to hear mammals communicate underwater and find out how our "relatives at sea" have found ways to live in oceans around the world.

"In Storms, see what happens when huge masses of air collide. Destructive or not, storms benefit us. The tropical regions of the Earth would be too hot to inhabit--and the subpolar regions too cold -- if we didn't have hurricanes and typhoons to distribute the Earth's heat so efficiently."--Container.

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