Explores the diversity of life on planet Earth. Examines life in an ocean, a forest, and a field. Shows the results when one link is removed from nature's chain of life.
Host Bill Nye the Science Guy reveals answers to various questions about the atmosphere. Discusses the five different levels in the atmosphere and how the atmosphere protects the Earth. Includes an examination of atmospheric pressure and radio waves.
In this video Bill Nye goes underwater to talk about ocean ecosystemsand the importance of small organisms such as coral, plankton, and kelp. Marine biologist Karen Montano takes a troop of kids to explore tide pools, which she calls "nurseries of the sea", and meet the water creatures living in these shallow pools. This video discusses plankton as well as the eating habits of the baleen whales. This video also contains an experiment to illustrate the filtering function of the baleen in a whale's mouth.

This video explains how pressure, air resistance, and the Earth's gravitational force make storms, bowling balls, and planet Earth all move in a circle. This video also gives the definition of centripetal force, the definition ofcentrifugal force, and an experiment to show the effect of spinning on a design. The inside cover and paper inset contain an experiment to demonstrate centripetal and centrifugal forces and an experiment to display the visual effects of spinning objects. This video is closed captioned.

In this video Bill Nye tracks the origins of rivers and streams and shows what impact rivers and streams have on the lives of humans. This video includes a music video parody of the song "Take Me to the River". This program also shows how meandering rivers flow in an "S" shape and cut into riverbanks. This video contains an experiment to observe the settling properties of different materials.

In this video Bill Nye uses comedy to present information on oceanog raphy. Bill Nye explains why oceans are salty and explores the ocean currents. The video contains an experiment to see why ocean temperature is more constant than air temperature, an experiment to see whether salt makes water more dense, and a music parody of the Beach Boy's "California Girls".

In this video Bill Nye explains how marine mammals are like human be ings by the way they communicate with other mammals underwater and the fact thatthey breathe air. Bill Nye also shows how marine mammals have found ways to livein oceans all around the world and explains that blubber is a layer of fat whichis like rubber under the skin. This program contains an experiment to demonstrate the insulating properties of fat.

In this video Bill Nye uses comedy to present information on mammals.Bill discusses the common characteristics of mammals including: mammals have hair or fur, mammals are warm-blooded (their body maintains its temperature), mammals nurse their young, mammals breathe oxygen, and mammals get their body heat from the energy in the food they eat. This video contains an experiment to demonstrate the sense of smell. The inside cover and paper inset contain an experiment to determine if a mammal's ears would aid in cooling the skin and an experiment to demonstrate how evaporation is cooling.
