SONG!: "Where the Land is Wet" from Bill Nye


(Ooh, wet)
You might think that the wetlands are a place
(Ooh, wet)
Where the land is wet and we throw stuff away
(Ooh, wet)
But listen to me, 'cause that is not the way
(Ooh, wet)
We should treat our wetlands today

Gonna get mud on your boots
Water on your hands
Just follow me 'cause we're gonna take a trip into the

Wetlands
A place where the ground is wet
Wetlands
A place that we should protect
Wetlands
A place where the ground is wet
Wetlands
A place that we should protect

SONG!: "Time Time Time" from Bill Nye


Time it runs one way
It's at a constant rate
Twenty-four hours in a day
Determined by the sun's ray
Today, tomorrow, and yesterday
Time it runs one way (Now!)
Hey!

(Now!)
(Now!)

Alright, now the time has come (Now!) (Time!)
How does time run? (Time!)
It's based on Earth going 'round the sun (Time!)
I think time is fun (Time!)

With leap years we equalize (Time!)
The exact time the sun will rise (Time!)
Thinkin' 'bout time makes me feel psychedelicized (Time!)

SONG!: "Move Groove" from Bill Nye


LYRICS

Come along and move like a human
Move, groove, slippity-slide
People gotta move just to survive
Come along and move like a human
Planes, trains, cars, ships
Use your feet and shake your hips

Come along, now we’re gonna move
Lookin’ for shelter, lookin’ for food
People been movin’ since early times
Spreadin’ language, music, and rhymes
But there was feet and then the sled
Low flat thing that looked like a bed
More people lookin’ for a better deal
Put it all together and invent the wheel
Inventin’ the wheel was just the start
Then came chariots and horse-drawn cars
So many vehicles, now do the math
Ain’t goin’ nowhere without a pass
Roads, bridges, routes in the air
Anywhere you go you follow a
Freeway, highway, flyway, parkway
Gonna bust a move and be on my way

SONG!: "Do It Yourself Science"


Science is everywhere
In the trees and birds and the air
You can experiment with everything
Discover is a lovely thing
Watch the clouds go by
And think of what a river in the sky
The water that you boil on the stove
Makes a cloud and then begins to row

Do it yourself
Science
With stuff you find on the shelf
Science

If you experiment repeatedly
And get the same results continually
Then you know that your discovery
Has been achieved successfully
If you experiment attentively
You can make a great discovery
Say you want to make a snazzy boat
Experiment to see what things will float

Do it yourself
Science
With stuff you find on the shelf
Science

SONG!: "Causing the Erosion" from Bill Nye


LYRICS

Every mountain, rock, and hill
Wears away, erodes until
It's sediment or sand
Carried off by rain and wind

Oooh, it's a change that doesn't happen fast
That jagged edge won't last

Pounding water, wind, and ice
Storms and falling rain
They are causing the erosion
Even chemicals we know that are in the air
They are causing the erosion

The surface of our planet Earth
Each mountain top and rocky cliff
Eroded by the elements
It's a well-known fact

Pounding water, wind, and ice
Storms and falling rain
They are causing the erosion
Even chemicals we know that are in the air
They are causing the erosion

Pounding water, wind, and ice
Storms and falling rain
They are causing the erosion
Even chemicals we know that are in the air
They are causing the erosion

SONG!: "Atoms in My Life" from Bill Nye


LYRICS

My hat or a flower, the water, a shower
Some coffee or a bicycle
A frozen popsicle
Combination, atomic combination
Matter’s cool, it’s made with molecules
And did you ever think about the molecules
The bond is very cool, very very cool
The stars and planets are made of
Are made of an atom combination

And those atoms are so tiny you never see them
Like hydrogen and carbon and oxygen
We know that they exist, ’cause we can see how they react
And there’s only 92 of them you know that

Atoms all combine
They make up molecules
Matter is all around
Atoms, atoms

SONG!: "All We Need to Do" from Bill Nye


LYRICS

Watching groups of living things
Tryin’ to find their reasoning
Get the scope, and watch some more

Populations I have seen
Are made of groups of living things
And if you’re keepin’ score

They compete for food
They compete for homes
Populations all compete
As everybody knows

Populations
There are different populations
Competing to survive
Populations
And watching populations
We learn about life

The human race is growing fast
Other populations might not last
Some species are gone forever

Now we’ve got to watch what we do
Let other species live here too
We can all be here together

We compete for food
We compete for homes
Populations all compete
As everybody knows

Populations
There are different populations
Competing to survive
Populations
And watching populations
We learn about life

SONG!: "We're All in Motion" from Bill Nye


LYRICS

We’re all in motion
We’re all in motion
Everything in the universe
Is all in motion
When things are pushed or pulled
They’re put in motion

The more the mass
The more force we need
The more inertia
The more force we need
We’re all in motion
That’s what it seems

We’re all in motion
We’re all in motion
Everything in the universe
Is all in motion
When things are pushed or pulled
They’re put in motion

The more the mass
The more force we need
The more inertia
The more force we need
We’re all in motion
That’s what it seems

We’re all in motion
We’re all in motion

SONG!: "Pure Proof" from Bill Nye


LYRICS

It's way past midnight, can't trust your eyes
You're seeing weird sights, I can't take your side
You're claiming it's all true, before I believe you

I want the truth, I want the tests
Anything else is second best
I hope you do the math, get evidence
It may be fantasy, I'm not convinced

When people make claims they may not be true
Scientists make tests that they can do
100% pure proof

When people make claims they may not be true
Scientists make tests that they can do
100% pure proof

A saucer flying high, up in the sky
Is that bigfoot's cry, or just a normal guy?
You saw a ghost again, I'm not convinced

When somebody claims something it may not be true
There's so many tests that you must do
100% pure proof

When somebody claims something it may not be true
There's so many tests that you must do
100% pure proof

SONG!: "The Faster You Push Me..." from Bill Nye


LYRICS

The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity
The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity

I will roll
Very far
But not as far as that car
Weight is such
A central part
Of momentum, dear
Whether you care
Or do not
Yeah, now if you don't mind

The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity
The faster you push me
The farther I get
You're adding velocity

SONG!: Food Webby Web


“It’s a Food Web”
by Food Webby Web
(From Bill Nye, The Science Guy’s “Food Web” episode)

Well take a look at my plate
It’s a site…
’Cause it’s piled with food
Well I’m looking it over
And it looks so good
’Cause I got milk,
I got meat,
I got pasta ’n bread
I got chicken ’n egg rolls
’N processed cheese spread
I got ice cream
I got whip cream
I got tacos
I got fish
But none of it seems like a vegetable dish
But the truth of the matter of this food situation
Is that all of these things get their start with vegetation

It’s the food web
It’s the food web

You see meat has to eat
And noodles need wheat
Yeah, we need plants for the things that we eat
’Cause sugar needs cane
’N honey needs bees
That get pollen from the flowers and the fields and the trees
But maybe now you’re asking
“Hey, what’s a plant need?”
They gotta come from something
Yeah ya’ know they gotta feed
Well, a plant needs water
’N a plant needs sun
Dirt, carbon dioxide, ’n oxygen

It’s the food web
It’s the food web
