Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Spinning Things
Many things spin, including bike wheels, frisbees, storms, hard disks, and the Earth. The standup scientist shows how it is hard to stop some things from spinning, and how a spinning object can push back when poked with a finger. Bill Nye continues to relate science concepts to student experiences, helping them to understand complex material. Bill Nye the Science Guy: Spinning Things offers clear explanations illustrated with memorably silly, but useful, graphics, and a music video.
