Bill Nye The Science Guy on Balance

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

LOL! Hazel Fanny, the Science Granny is hilarious and educational! After Bill rides a sky-high bicycle, demonstrating the center of gravity, this elderly woman and her girlfriends play tug-of-war with a gang of bikers to display what happens when forces are unequal. Detailed explanations aren't really given, but you can effectively show this as an attention-getting introduction to your unit on forces.
