An interactive game where Bill Nye the Science Guy asks multiple choice questions on earth's structure and processes, topics covered in the Bill Nye the Science Guy programs Atmospher, Climates, Earthquakes, Erosion, and Rocks and Soil. For two players or two teams, with plays up to 30 minutes, the game contains over 150 questions that are completely randomized, so students can play multiple times without seeing the same questions.
