Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Wetlands
The important role of wetlands in the environment is the subject of this episode of the series, as Bill Nye needs boots to get into the thick of things. These swampy, boggy regions may seem less glamorous than other areas, but many animals make their homes here, where there is plenty of food. Bill Nye the Science Guy: Wetlands also considers the valuable help that wetlands provide to control erosion and flooding.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Volcanoes
Volcano eruptions can be one of the most spectacular events in Earth science, and Bill Nye is ready to tell his target audience of fourth and fifth graders how and why they occur. It all has to do with those plates that are constantly moving all over the Earth's mantle, and the very hot rock that flows underneath. Using flashy graphics, demonstrations, and anything else he can find, Nye shows students the three kinds of volcanoes and the havoc they can cause.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Time
Can Bill Nye explain Einstein's theory of relativity to ten and 11-year-olds in less than 30 minutes?

Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: The Sun
The sun is one of those things young students tend to take for granted, perhaps complaining when it's too hot, or that it's too gloomy when cloud cover obscures its light. Under the Science Guy's tutelage, the sun should get a little more respect. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Sun, Bill Nye harnesses all his energy and power to explain why the sun's activities are so important to humans and to all life on Earth.
Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: The Planets
The Science Guy looks to outer space in Bill Nye the Science Guy: Planets, as he examines the features of the solar system. While it is possible to see the nearby planets without a telescope, the others are too far away to see with the naked eye. Astronomers can see them, however, and provide constantly updated information about the planets. Nye explains why the appearance of each planet is different and traces its path around the sun.
