Bill Nye was at his crazy antics again, this time clinging to a beam in a wind tunnel with his limbs flailing around as he explained the concept of air friction. As an elementary schooler, I didn’t always understand the scientific terms Bill was raving about, but I giggled at his bizarre behavior anyway. I often tried replicating his experiments, such as comparing the density of household liquids and growing rock candy, but I wanted to use the instruments and chemicals the professionals used.

I recently watched Bill Nye's documentary on global warming. Bill Nye explained why climate change is happening, what are the consequences and what we can do to change it. The video uses several persuasive techniques that are effective and the overall effect of the video is obvious.

He presents

Upon watching the science documentary Genetics: Greatest Discoveries with Bill Nye, I could recall the many topics that were discussed by the scientists, specifically geneticists, in the film. Out of many, Gregor Mendel’s laws of inheritance and the study of DNA and RNA were the concepts I was most familiar with. However, a plethora of ideas that were brought up in the documentary became topics of interest. For individuals with lactose intolerance, I had no idea it was due to a gene’s failure to

Everybody have rights and needs that must be met but some group of people, due to their inability or difficulty to voice out their minds, are unable to meet these needs or demand for their rights and entitlements; when it comes to making decisions that pertain to their lives, their voice and feelings are (sometimes) being ignored and they are treated as if they do not exist.

“The Cat Bill Veto,” written by Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson on April 23, 1949, is a satirical yet professional response to a citizen’s request to restrain all cats.
