Bill Nye is the Science Guy, a host who's hooked on experimenting and explaining. Picking one topic per show like the human heart or electricity , Nye gets creative with teaching kids and adults alike the nuances of science. Did you know Edit. Quotes Bill Nye : Science Rules! Connections Featured in Mad Love User reviews 24 Review. Top review. Not just a children's show This show was a godsend to students of all ages.
Even in high school, we liked nothing better in one of our science classes than for our teacher to pop in an episode of "Bill Nye the Science Guy. We'd always sing along with the theme song, and didn't feel embarrassed well, maybe a little bit. It happens to all of us. You're causally walking along, maybe dragging your feet a little, when you reach out to shake a friend's hand and - ZAP! Both you and your friend get shocked. The spark is static electricity, a buildup of charged electrons.
Electrons are a part of all atoms, the building blocks of all stuff, including you and me. All electrons have a negative charge. Negatively charged electrons push away from other negatively charged electrons. Like charges repel each other. When electrons build up in an area, a charge builds up, and it's just waiting to be released. This buildup of charge is called static electricity. Light Optics, Bending, and Bouncing. Don't stay in the dark - Bill Nye will help you absorb the science of light optics.
Light is energy that normally moves in a straight line, but often something gets in the way. When light runs into something, three things can happen - the light can bounce off, it can go through, or it can be absorbed.
Often all three things happen at the same time. Light bounces off mirrors. You see yourself in a mirror when light bounces off your face, into the mirror, and then into your eyes.
Light goes through glass. If the glass is bent or curved, the light gets bent on its way out of the glass. The glass in a magnifying glass or a pair of eyeglasses is curved so that it bends light,.
Bones and Muscle. In this show, you can Bone up on Muscles. When you clicked on the Nye Labs web site to read this, you used your bones and muscles. Without them, you can't click, surf, or even sigh. Bones and muscles work together, or you aren't going anywhere. Muscles always pull, even when you push on something like a door somewhere in your body your arm and leg muscles are in tension.
They are all attached to bones, and those bones are pushing; they're in compression. By pulling on bones you can breathe, talk, and move all over the world. Your bones support your weight like beams of steel or wood. They're stiff and strong. Rigid as they might seem though, they do flex. And, if you bang one. Ocean Currents. It's time for a heart-to-heart talk about blood and circulation with Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Your blood is your bud. Without blood, your skin would dry up and fall off, your internal organs would die, and your brain would be kaput. Blood gives every cell in your body the food and oxygen it needs to survive. Blood also cleans up after our cells by carrying away waste. Blood even protects your body from disease. What more could you ask from a friend? Blood patrols your entire body. Blood is pushed around by a powerful pump called the heart.
Every time your heart lub-dubs, blood is propelled through tubes called arteries, capillaries, and veins. Your heat pushes your blood in a. This buildup of charge is called static. Feeling a little hungry?
When it comes to eating, all living things depend on other living things. Take a chicken sandwich, for example. The bread came from plants. So did the lettuce and tomatoes. The cheese was made from milk, which came from a cow. To make milk, the cow had to stay alive by eating grass.
The meat came from a chicken who once ate seed, and maybe the occasional bug. The animals that helped to make your sandwich depended on other living things to survive. The lettuce, grain for the bread , and tomato got by fine on their own. Then some animal came along you. Plants are the. The Sun. The Brain. Bill Nye looks at how the brain controls the body and stores information.
Surf's up! Get the current information as Bill Nye explains why oceans are salty and explores the ocean currents. Go with the flow of ocean currents with Bill Nye the Science Guy. It depends how you count, but you can say that there are five oceans on Earth - the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian, the Arctic, and the Antarctic. They are all connected into one World Ocean by the flow of ocean currents. Ocean water is moving around all the time.
Some of the moving water forms rivers in the ocean. Oceanographers, scientists who study oceans, call these rivers of ocean water. Things sure are heating up at Nye Labs. Snow cones, flowers, hot dogs, people -- everything is made of molecules.
No matter what they're in, solid, liquid, or gas, molecules are always moving, even if just a little bit. The speed of the molecules depends on their temperature.
Cold things have slow-moving molecules, while hot things have fast-moving molecules. In fact, temperature is really a measurement of molecule speed. For a cold thing to get warm, its molecules have to speed up.
Heat moves in three different ways -- conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the flow of heat between two solid objects that are touching. Heat conducts from your warm fingertips into a cold can of. Bill Nye's not here to bug you - he just wants to tell you about insects.
Do you know when you're looking at an insect? All insects have six legs, three body segments, antennae, and an exoskeleton. Insects don't have bones. Instead, they have hard shells called exoskeletons. Like a little suit of armor, an exoskeleton protects the insect's body and also keeps it from drying out. Although people call any crawling critter with an exoskeleton a ""bug"", the ""true bugs"" are insects that have special mouth parts for piercing and sucking. And, spiders are not bugs or even insects.
They're built differently with only two main body parts and eight legs instead of six. If you think you have a wild.
Bill Nye's going to use the force to pull you into the world of balance. A force is a push or a pull. You can feel a force when someone pushes you.
You can use a force to pull a door shut. Anyone can make forces by pushing and pulling, and you don't need to be Luke Skywalker to use a force. In a game of tug-of-war, if the pull of your team is the same as the pull of the other team, the forces are equal. The two teams are in balance, and the rope doesn't budge. Things are in balance when forces that are pushing or pulling them are equal. If your tug-of-war team pulls harder than the other team, the forces are not equal.
The other team falls all over the place. Unequal forces make things move. The Sun is huge. It's bigger than huge. It's so big that 1.
It's really far away, too - about million kilometers 93 million miles Even at that distance the Sun affects everything on Earth. All the energy we have comes, or once came from, the Sun. That includes energy to light a lamp, energy to kick a soccer ball, and energy in batteries that play your personal stereo. We're talking about nearly all of the energy. There's a little bit of energy that comes from nuclear reactions deep in the Earth's core.
But that energy pales compared with the nuclear fusion fueling the Sun. Without the Sun, the Earth would be a big hunk. Planets and Moons. Each planet is different.
As far as we know now, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that is home to living things. In this program, he points out the different ways in which humans and animals exchange information. He also talks about the ability of humans to store data in computers, books, and on videotapes. An elephant on a bike has more momentum than a mouse on a bike moving at the same speed. A mouse on a fast bike has more momentum than a mouse on a slow bike. Rocks and Soil. There are three basic types of rocks — igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic — and each type is made a different way.
Igneous rocks are made from cooled lava. Sedimentary rocks are made from small pieces of other rocks stuck together. Metamorphic rocks are formed when other rocks are heated or pressed, or both. It takes the right conditions and a lot of time. The air that surrounds Earth is called the atmosphere.
Compared to the size of the Earth, the atmosphere is very, very thin. The atmosphere does a lot for Earth. It blocks ultraviolet light and burns up a lot of meteors. It traps in heat, keeping Earth cozy. Even clouds are formed in the atmosphere — keeping the Earth wet with rain. How breathing supplies the body with the oxygen it needs. Water Cycle. That means a glass of water you drink today could be water that a dinosaur once sipped.
Water is constantly recycled on Earth as rain, snow, sleet and hail. It makes its way in and out of oceans, lakes, streams, hail, and glaciers. Scientists call the recycling of water the water cycle not that bad, huh? Friction is a force that slows moving things down and turns the moving energy into heat energy. When two things rub together, like your bike tires and the road, friction between them slows you down.
Rough things make more friction than smooth things. Rubber shoes on a clean wooden basketball floor create more friction than do hard metal skate blades on smooth ice. Germs are bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi, very small one-celled organisms. Your skin keeps most of these organisms from ever getting into your body.
If germs slip inside, your body has some powerful weapons to attack and destroy them. And not all germs are bad; there are good germs, too, like the ones that live in our stomach and intestines — our guts.
Energy, things like light, heat, and sound, moves in waves. Moving energy is not like the wave you do with your hand. Ocean Life. There are fish, sharks, flowers, whales, squid, sea plants, sea anemones, sea otters, and all sorts of other things living in the water. Spinning Things. A push on a small area makes more pressure than the same size push on a big area. Pushing hard on something creates more pressure than a little nudge, naturally.
When plants make their food, they give off what animals need — oxygen. Human Transportation. Energy can change forms. Your body changes the energy in food into energy you can use to do things. Dams turn the energy in falling water into electrical energy to bring power to your house. Sound energy changes into moving energy like when the bass is so high you can feel the floor move. Scientists believe that birds evolved from reptiles.
Feathers are made of the same stuff human fingernails and hair are made from — a protein called keratin. Feathers, combined with lightweight bones, powerful wings and strong hearts let birds fly. Populations need a couple of basic things to survive — food and a place to live. When two or more populations of living things are crowded into a small area, there is competition for food and space.
A population of birds and a population of squirrels compete for seed and bread crumbs in a park. Competition is a natural part of life, but problems can arise if populations get out of balance. Animal Locomotion. Some animals have wings that let them fly and hover. Other animals have legs, from two to more than , to get them walking, galloping, or running. Animals also strut, stroll, slither, swim, slime, sprint and squeeze their way around.
When your body gets a hold of these chemicals, it recombines them and makes energy. Different types of food make different amounts of energy, which are measured in calories.
How do scientists figure out the amount of calories in food? In this episode, Bill will reveal the secrets of the bomb calorimeter — an instrument of food science. Marine Mammals. They live in the ocean. They breathe air, have hair, nurse their babies, and they are warm-blooded. They keep the same body temperature all day. Water soaks up heat, so the ocean is really pretty cold.
Marine mammals have all sorts of ways to keep warm. It holds their body heat keeping them warm in the cold ocean. Sea otters have thick layers of fur that cover their whole bodies. Otters fluff their fur to trap air between the hairs. It helps them. The crust of the Earth is made of big slabs of land called plates that are constantly moving just a little bit.
An earthquake happens when the plates get unstuck suddenly and jerkily slip past each other. The majority of earthquakes occur along plate boundaries such as the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. One of the most active plate boundaries for earthquakes is the massive Pacific Plate commonly referred to as the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The fire comes from the volcanoes that form near the edge of the plates. Join Bill Nye as he counts down the hits from the Soundtracks of Science. Along with the music, Bill does a few new experiments on the lab bench. Spiders have eight legs, and insects have only six. Spiders have two body parts, a head and an abdomen, while insects have three body parts, a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. Insects have antennae, and spiders do not. Some insects sting. All spiders have fangs and venom.
There are almost certainly a few spiders in the room with you right now. Pollution Solutions. Water is massive; rivers are powerful. As rivers flow downhill, they wear away rock and soil to form canyons or winding curves in the land, called meanders. Sometimes rivers fill and overflow their banks. Rivers with too much water create floods that can carry away plants, trees, buildings and boulders.
Rivers and streams support most of the ecosystems on land. Probability is a way to measure how likely it is that something will happen. Probabilities are predictions. When a scientist wants to calculate a probability, she or he gathers data and then uses the data to make her or his guess. Most things have a probability somewhere in between.
Flowers are an important part of many plants. Plants use flowers to make other plants — to reproduce. Flowers have special parts, called stamens and pistils. When pollen from the stamen finds its way down through the pistil, the flower is pollinated, and seeds start to grow.
The seeds eventually find their way to the ground, the seeds sprout, and more plants are born. Archaeologists are kind of like detectives. Archaeologists find ancient cities, tombs, and temples by taking aerial photographs of Earth, by reading old documents, or by just looking at the shape of the land. When archaeologists get close to an object, they dig very carefully.
Sometimes they dig with nothing but a toothpick and a paintbrush. Deserts are places that get very little precipitation rain or snow each year, and that makes them extremely dry. Deserts cover big areas of land. Some parts of the Sahara get as little as 2 millimeters 0. Dirty water, land, and air are a result of pollution. People are the only animals on Earth that make pollution. Humans are even leaving trash in space, such as broken satellites, pieces of metal, paint from rocket skin, and even cameras and toothbrushes.
Much of the junk people make and leave behind hurts plants, animals, you and me. Volcanoes are mountains made from molten rock.
Some places in the mantle, the rock gets very hot and nearly liquid. People once thought that world was flat or nearly flat. It was considered a bit crazy to think of it as a big ball. But it is. You can prove it. One of the big ideas in science is that ideas can be tested.
Scientists test claims. If one scientist claims that she or he can fill a balloon with invisible gas using vinegar and baking soda, other scientists can try it and see if they get the same result.
Sometimes ideas are wild, extraordinary. And, the claims that go with these way-out ideas are pretty extraordinary as well. The round Earth is an example of an extraordinary claim that needed extraordinary proof. But, there are many people, who believe in extraordinary claims without looking. The color of your eyes, the shape of your nose, and the straightness or curliness of your hair depend on your genes.
Not jeans the pants, but genes, the long strands of chemicals in your cells. Genes are like a blueprint for your body, and your cells follow the blueprint to build you. All living things have genes in their cells.
You get your genes from your parents — half from your mom and half from your dad. Your parents got their genes from their parents, your grandparents. Living things pass down their genes from generation to generation. Baby humans, baby dogs, and. Space Exploration. Towers, teepees, castles, and condominiums — some kind of planning goes into all buildings, no matter how big or small. Architects are people who design buildings, and the areas around buildings. Usually architects draw on a computer or a big desk a drawing board.
The plans show the dimensions of all parts of a building. Architects try to design with the purpose of the building in mind, but even buildings used for the same thing can look very different. Almost everything we eat is grown on a farm, an area of land used to raise animals and plants. Farming nowadays can get pretty complicated. Farmers are scientists — agricultural scientists. Farmers work hard to keep their farms healthy. Plants need to be protected from pests with either chemical pesticides or biological pesticides.
Animals like bats and friendly insects eat other pest insects chomp,chomp. Animals are milked, corralled, fed, sheared,. The popular exclamation from your Auntie may be no great revelation, but growing bigger is a part of life. The different stages in life are called life cycles. At first, you might think that you have nothing in common with a cactus in the desert, or a fish in the sea, or the mold in your gym shoe, but you do.
You all have or will experience birth, growth, reproduction, aging, and eventually, death. Do-it-yourself science involves a question, observations, a hypothesis, and experimentation. You have probably come up with questions after you noticed something unusual. For instance, why do fingers get all pruny and wrinkled when I sit in the tub? The observation — shriveled fingertips — is the first step. Do-it-yourself science requires an eye for details surrounding your observations.
After weighing all the evidence, you hypothesize that your fingers get pruny because of the hot water in the tub. Life Cycle.
Atoms are reeeeally small. It takes as many as 10 million of them side-by-side to measure a single millimeter. Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. Everything is made of only different kinds of atoms, called elements. Do-It-Yourself Science. Ocean explorers are constantly inventing new tools to help them dive deep into the sea. Over the last few hundred years or so, and especially in the last few decades, we humans have come up with all kinds of new ways to study the ocean.
Even so, the ocean remains largely unexplored. Ocean exploration helps us understand our planet, and may help us solve the mystery of how life started on Earth. Atoms and Molecules. What do you get when you have a big hole in the ground and some water? Lakes and ponds. All lakes and ponds have one thing in common — they happen when a basin, or hole, forms, and then fills with water.
A glacier may grind a long gulch, volcanoes and earthquakes may make a sinkhole, or engineers may build a dam — they can be human or beaver. Ocean Exploration. How do noses work?
Objects give off tiny amounts of tiny molecules into the air. When just a few of these molecules get up your nose, they dissolve in the mucus up there. The membranes hold millions of receptor cells, each of which are ready to send messages to the brain about the molecules that go up your nose. Fluids are cool; they ooze and swoosh. Whatever container you put a fluid in, that fluid will take the same shape. Milk poured into a pitcher forms to the shape of the pitcher.
If you pour it into a glass, it takes the shape of the glass. Fluids still act like fluids, even halfway to the center of the Earth. The planet looks a lot different than it did when it formed four and a half billion years ago.
The force of erosion, the slow wearing away of the land, has never ceased.
