Just got back from the "Wetlands Center" after teaching 4 groups of 5th graders about our wetlands here in SE Texas. This clip is from the video we use to help educate them. The kids loved it.

He did a lot of his wacky science demontrations, but also was in some of their comedy skits. I do not know if they are available anywhere on the internet, but if you can find them some were absolutely hilarious. (especially Bill Nye as superhero "Speedwalker" and as one of the "High fivin' white guys") We would never miss the show on TV and i actually got to go to a live taping one time and meet the cast members.

When I watched that video yesterday I was actually gonna go see if I could find some clips. Yet mental_floss already did it for me! I would always look forward to watching this show in the mornings and watching it in class...Bill Nye days were my absolute favorite. =] Haven’t watched any Bill Nye in forever.
