Bill Nye The Science Guy on the Food Web

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Plants. We can't live without them! Bill Nye discusses how every living thing relies on plants using a concept called the food web. In a very visual demonstration, he ties a cord from one picture to another on a three-dimensional structure, tangling himself up in a virtual food web! Absurd meets academic in this video.
