FireBill Nye the Science Guy ignites learning as he shows students how to be Safety Smart around fire. By explaining the science of fire, including the roles heat, fuel and oxygen play, Bill demonstrates how knowledge and awareness provide the opportunities to learn and practise safe behaviours. Winner: IDMA/DVDA Excellence in Children’s Discs, 2009
Renewable EnergyBill Nye explores the science of renewable energy and demonstrates how we can use science and technology to engineer a brighter tomorrow. Using his trademark blend of hands-on demos and humour, Bill explains Newton’s First Law. Then, he is off to the Renewable Energy Lab at UL to compare renewable and non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels, solar, wind, and hydroelectricity.
