organ, the heart. Valves, blood cells, and the circulatory system work together
to pump it up…the heart, that is.
Bill bones up on the things that give the body its shape and movement. He
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.

all to explain how different climates are created and how they affect our planet.
More than just high-speed space chunks, comets and meteors carry important
information about the history of our Universe. A comet or meteoroid has hit
every planet and moon we’ve discovered – in fact, the Earth’s impact with
comets and meteors may have created the oceans, caused the extinction of the
dinosaurs, or brought life to Earth!
Listen up as Bill Nye the Science Guy shows how it’s E Z 2 C the difference

Bill Nye careens around a roller coaster and furiously pedals his bike on the
“Tour du Science” to show that simple machines doing complicated things can
be found everywhere.
What’s the largest living organ on the human body? Answer: Skin. Bill Nye
explains the naked truth about the organ that regulates our body temperature,
protects our inner parts, and provides us with the sense of touch.
The human sense of smell helps us interpret our environment and react to the
things around us by letting us know when new smells are nearby. Other
animals, like dogs, use their sense of smell even more than we humans do.
Noses receive a smell, then the olfactory part of the brain decodes the many
messages it gets and lets you know that, yes, your feet are truly smelly.
Bill’s pickin’ up good vibrations when he joins rock group Soundgarden in the
recording studio as they track their song, “Kickstand.” Bill and pals unleash the
power of sound as they tap, sing, and band sound waves to eardrums

the Laundromat, where they experiment with electron buildup and get zapped by
sock static.
It’s easy to see why some people hate storms. They’re big, loud, and often
accompanied by rain. But without storms to distribute heat, the tropical regions
of the earth would be too hot to inhabit—and the subpolar regions too cold.
Besides, a good storm puts on a great show!
From the “Bungee Zone” in British Columbia to New York Harbor’s Verrazano
Narrows Bridge (one of the longest suspension bridges in the world), our
daredevil host, Bill Nye, goes to any length to prove the structural principals of

reproduction. Students will learn about the scientific theories and evidence
that seek to explain why we reproduce sexually, how it affects genetic
diversity, and what sexual selection is.
Is genetic engineering safe? It may be too soon to tell, but that doesn’t
stop Bill Nye from exploring the benefits and risks. Students will hear
from traditional wheat breeders, from researchers who analyze organic and
pesticide-free crops, and from corporations engaged in genetic engineering.
Find out how scientists measure climate change, see how carbon dioxide
affects the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere, and hear about the role of
fossil fuels. It’s all part of Bill Nye’s in-depth look at the possible causes
of global warming.
Join Bill Nye as he weighs the risks and advantages of using nuclear power
as an alternative source of energy. Visit a nuclear reactor and a proposed
nuclear waste site and hear from experts.

Bill shows students how to examine out-of-this-world claims through the
eyes of a scientist – by looking for evidence and proof. He exposes
techniques used by psychics, demonstrates the science of walking on
flaming coals, and considers “The Case of the Extraordinary Claim”.
Learn about the physics behind sports, take a look at the mental aspect that
world-class athletes bring to their efforts, and explore why people play and
watch sports.
Bill Nye is in the driver’s seat as he explains the environmental impact of
America’s car culture. Students will learn how computers can simulate
traffic flow, find out about fuel-efficient alternatives, and discover what
individuals can do to reduce traffic-related air pollution.
