Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Motion
In this episode, Bill Nye once again takes a science concept and clarifies it for young science students. Despite the complexity of some of his subject matter, Nye manages to bring the explanations down to a level to which kids can relate, complete with silly references and jokes. In Bill Nye the Science Guy: Motion, he talks about inertia and the forces that act upon it. He discusses Newton's three laws of motion and illustrates relative motion by asking students to picture sitting on a bus that is backing up.
