Awesome Science...and Comedy submitted by cherylo on July 16, 2011, 7:18pm I've been a fan of Bill Nye way before he became a Science Guy...check out an old improv show called Almost Live! sometime...but he did really good things for science education. Although the skits are sometimes a little dated (see an early mobile phone in one episode, for example), the science is solid and the comedy is real. This particular episode features an awesome re-working of The Police's Every Breath You Take to teach more about measurement, with an excellent video paralleling the original Police video.

Great! submitted by ljq on August 5, 2011, 4:30am It's a good way to learn about science without being too bored. I have basically watched every episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy and they tend to have the same format with experiments you can try at home, explanations by Bill Nye and a rather cheesy and corny song at the end. Although most people know a lot about thermometers and scales, there are quite a few measuring instruments introduced that aren't well known and are good to know.
