Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Plants

The diverse world of plants is the topic of this episode in the award-winning series Bill Nye the Science Guy. Despite the fact that plants are rooted to the ground, they are able to manufacture their own food, and some have interesting adaptations to keep from being eaten. Bill Nye introduces these plants and others, including ones that trap and eat insects. He brings his usual humorous touches to the program to keep the science information entertaining, including kid-pleasing graphics and odd camera angles.
