Learn fundamental principles of science. You'll learn about electricity, magnetism, heat, temperature, pressure, surface tension, buoyancy, and much more! For every demonstration, a complete materials list is given, and each experiment features multiple camera views so you can see exactly what happens. Most importantly, every concept is explained in a step-by-step fashion. You'll not only be amazed - you'll understand the science behind every experiment!...

Bill Nye demonstrates how airplanes, birds, and helicopters create differences in air pressure to develop lift for flying.

Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman return in this ninth installment of the popular television series Mythbusters. Using modern day science to test everyday myths and urban legends, the special effects experts determine which myths are busted and which are plausible. In this collection, more of life's burning questions are answered including: Can bees lift a laptop? What's the most hygienic sneeze technique? and Can a hair weave really stop a speeding bullet?...

"What do syrup, milk shakes, and air all have in common? In Fluids, you'll discover that they're all fluids, or stuff that can bend, squish, flow, move, dodge, or mosey along without breaking or separating"--Container.

Prepare yourself for the kind of fun that requires safety goggles as the team takes on tales of exploding pants, steam-powered machine guns, and jailbreak methods, and blasts a host of hoaxes to smithereens.

"Students discover how the underground movement of rocks, along with stresses on the Earth's crust, produces surface-level tremors. Learn how scientists determine where the hypocenter and epicenter of a quake occur while exploring the destructive power of seismic waves, and how seismologists predict where earthquakes will occur. A visit to the University of California at Berkeley showcases the use of a "shaker table" by engineers who design buildings,...

There is a good chance this will be one of Bill Nye's best episodes! In fact, he'll probably make the complicated concept of probability very simple to understand, while showing how it allows us to predict events.

"You may not believe it, but these 'spineless wonders' far outnumber those of us animals with backbones. In 'Invertebrates, ' Bill Nye explains the unique characteristics of these animals and why we are dependent on them"--Container cover insert.

Examines the differences between the process of testing claims or theories (science) and those claims which can't be tested (pseudoscience).

"Transportation is on the move, whether it floats, rolls, or flies! In Human Transportation, find out how humans move around to search for food, shelter, and meet other humans "--Container.
