Disney Educational - Bill Nye The Science Guy: Outer Space
Humor and quirkiness are Bill Nye's tools as he teaches the young and old about the solar system. In this episode, Bill Nye the Science Guy: Outer Space, Nye uses simple experiments and wacky visuals to make the planets become instantly fathomable to kids. Nye speaks eloquently about gravity and the reasons behind the difference in planet colors. As in all Bill Nye the Science Guy episodes, his manner and enthusiasm are endearing, but he sticks to the facts, making science both fun and informative.

Astronauts, cosmonauts, and a very limited number of people have experienced eating space food due to the unique processing and packaging required for space travel. This book allows anyone with a normal kitchen to prepare space food. Since some of the processing such as freeze dehydration, and packaging cannot be accomplished in the normal kitchen, many of the recipes will not produce the food that would be launched in space, but will prepare food similar to what the astronauts would eat after they had added the water to the food in space.
In everyday life, knot has many practical uses that are usually overlooked such as shoelacing. In sports and activities like sailing and rock climbing, a knot can mean life or death. Knot now plays an important role in modern surgery too. A logical extension to the digital world is to model these objects in virtual space. We present an interactive system for designing knots that combines sketch-based interface and physical simulation together.

There are many ways to explore space. In Space Exploration, students will learn about the human quest to discover what’s out there. Students will see the challenges and benefits of space exploration, including the development of rocket science, a look back at the ‘Space Race’ and a history of manned space travel. A special section on the Saturn V rocket will give students insight into the extraordinary measures taken to put us on the Moon, including a fun, hands-on activity that will let them build their own rocket-complete with fuel!
