"Did you know that most of the water on the planet is the same water that's been here since the Earth formed? In WATER CYCLE, Bill uses a whimsical model to demonstrate the phases of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection." --

Storms: Storms happen when huge masses of air collide. Disaster 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. Atmosphere: There is something in the air as Bill Nye talks about the atmosphere, its five different levels, and how it protects the Earth. Bill soars into the heavy topic of...

The Planets: Bill Nye gets up close and personal with each of the solar system's planets and moons. Bill goes planet gazing and takes a serious look at Jupiter's features, Earth's elliptical orbit, and the distances between planets ; Gravity: have you ever wondered what holds the ocean to the Earth? Or what makes the Earth round? Perhaps you've thought about what holds humans to the ground. Bill Nye provides the explanation for these and other questions...

"Exploring the ocean helps us to better understand the Earth. In 'Ocean exploration,' get a glimpse of some of the special tools required for investigating the ocean and find out why studying the ocean is so crucial to life on land"--Container cover insert.

Pollution solutions: From cleaning our water to cleansing our air, Bill demonstrates how important it is for all humans to prepare for the future by recycling, researching, and developing innovative solutions to combat this "way UN-cool" worldwide problem. Populations: A peep of chickens, a pride of lions, a gaggle of geese, and a crowd of people. What do they all have in common? They're populations! Bill Nye explores how these living groups compete...

"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.

Nifty questions with awesome answers in the fields of music. Includes replicable experiments.

Did you know that all living things grow, reproduce, and die in cycles? Bill Nye explains "Life cycles" and shows us why many different living things have similar life cycles.

Learning about Earth's natural satellite is an out-of-this-world experience as loony Bill Nye illuminates the orbit and phases of the moon.

"A peep of chickens, a pride of lions, a gaggle of geese, and a crowd of people. What do they all have in common? They're populations! In Populations, Bill Nye explores how these living groups compete for food, homes, and space"--Container.
