Bill Nye the Science Guy knows how to provide easy access to hard science. What's his secret? A fast-paced approach blending humorous high jinks with hands-on experiments. Bill encourages kids to ask interesting questions...then shows them how to discover fascinating answers. STORMS: Storms happen when huge masses of air collide. The tropical regions of the Earth would be too hot to inhabit -- and the subpolar regions too cold -- if we didn't have hurricanes and typhoons to distribute the Earth's heat so efficiently. And besides, a good storm can sure put on a great show! ATMOSPHERE: There is something in the air as Bill Nye talks about the atmosphere, its five different levels, and how it protects the Earth. Bill soars into the heavy topic of atmospheric air pressure and radio waves.
