Awesome Science...and Comedy submitted by cherylo on July 16, 2011, 7:33pm 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.

cool submitted by Ele Z. on July 26, 2011, 2:08pm really fun to read.

Fantastic submitted by ljq on August 7, 2011, 4:04am A good way to learn about science without putting out all the big words for the kids. All Bill Nye's follow the same format with experiments to try at home, silly songs and funny anecdotes scattered throughout the episode. I really recommend these to anyone interested in science.

learned a lot! submitted by fairytale on August 15, 2013, 8:32pm I learned a lot from this Nutrition episode of Bill Nye - highly recommend! I thought the parts where they show how they measure calories, fat, and minerals in food were fascinating!
