Description:

With more than 16 Emmys to its credit and legions of fans, it's easy to see why the Bill Nye the Science Guy Series, is one of the most popular educational series of all time. Beloved by teachers and students alike, Bill Nye and his unique brand of Way Cool Science make complex science principles accessible for all learners.

Climate can be simply defined as how warm or wet a place is. In Climates Bill delivers hot sand from Saudi Arabia and bananas from humid Costa Rica, all to explain how different climates are created and how they affect our planet. Bill Nye shows how the climate of a place can be affected by location on the globe (the Equator or the Earth's poles), natural features of the earth near that place (such as mountains), patterns of air in the upper atmosphere, and the global effects of the oceans.

Correlated to National Science Education Standards for grades 4-8.
