Bill Nye explores the habits and behavior of spiders and examines the unique anatomy of these arthropods. The science guy explains how these eight-legged predators spin silk webs to capture their food. Discusses why spiders preying on insects is essential to balancing the ecosystem. Identifies several spiders from crab spiders to tarantulas and visits a forest habitat to reveal the wide variety of spiders living in the vegetation.

The science guy describes the physical features of the ocean and explores the ocean bottom. Explains how ocean pressure impacts objects, including a human being's ability to breath underwater. Measures the depth of the ocean and illustrates how the Earth's surface and the ocean floor are physically similar. Features how marine biologists and scientists use submarines and remote submersibles to examine the ocean bottom and identify the marine life that inhabit these deep waters.
This episode features eleven music video parodies from the science guy's television series. The music videos cover different areas of science and are interspersed with facts and experiments presented by Bill Nye. Topics include velocity, friction, the water cycle, weather, brain function, methods of communication, oceanography, and recycling.

Bill Nye explores the properties of light and presents a variety of examples to illustrate how light behaves. The science guy features experiments demonstrating reflection, refraction, light absorption, and how light waves bounce from one place to another. Also examines how light travels, bends, and changes direction, and defines infrared light. Features a segment on fiber optics and how this technology is used in medicine. Also shows how lenses, mirrors, and water can be used to create optical illusions with light.

The science guy explores the physical characteristics of fish and explains how they adapt to their marine environment. Examines how the anatomy of fish is similar to human anatomy in a variety of ways. Illustrates how fish use their muscles to swim and their gills to breathe underwater. Presents experiments to demonstrate how air mixes with water and how fish get oxygen from water. Underwater cinematography provides an upclose view of a variety of marine fishes. Also features segments on the behavior of salmon and sharks.

DVD Bill Nye looks at deserts.
"Research has shown that racial differences are only skin deep. Then why do humans look so different from one another? Bill will go to any length to find scientific answers--even if it means having his own DNA analyzed"--Container.
