"In Storms, see what happens when huge masses of air collide. Destructive or not, storms benefit us. 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"--Container.

"Join Bill as he explores the ... world of caves! In Caves, you never know what kind of living things you'll run into. Surviving in complete darkness requires an array of natural adaptations. Caves have their own unique forms of life -- it's a whole different world where the sun doesn't shine"--Container.

"What do syrup, milk shakes, and air all have in common? In Fluids, you'll discover that they're all fluids, or stuff that can bend, squish, flow, move, dodge, or mosey along without breaking or separating"--Container.

"In Time, Bill shows how humans measure time with the help of "Beverly Hills 90210" heartthrob Ian Ziering and comedienne Ellen Cleghorne. When he's not demonstrating how to make a water clock, Bill is explaining Einstein's Theory of Relativity"--Container.

"Exploring the ocean helps us to better understand the Earth. In 'Ocean exploration,' get a glimpse of some of the special tools required for investigating the ocean and find out why studying the ocean is so crucial to life on land"--Container cover insert.

"They're (sometimes) big, they're hairy, and they're warm-blooded. From human beings to moose and from cats to rats, Bill Nye the Science Guy explains in Mammals what it takes to be in the mammal family"--Container.

"Follow Bill Nye in Forests, when he goes swinging through the trees in Washington, Florida, Texas, and California, to bring viewers close to the tallest and possibly oldest living things in the world. Examine a real forest fire to see how it benefits a forest's ecosystem"--Container.

In Garbage, Bill digs up the dirt on ever-expanding landfills from New York to Florida. He also exposes the vast amounts of non-biodegradable waste that humans create.

"Lakes and ponds are formed when water collects (or pools!) in a low place in the ground. Where does all that water come from? Find out in this exciting program, 'Lakes and ponds,' as Bill ponders this and many other freshwater questions"--Container cover insert.

"In Plants, Science Guy Bill Nye branches out and gets to the root of the matter to explain wild things about plants such as how they breathe, make food, defend themselves, and move their seeds around."--Container.
