Safety Smart Science with Bill Nye the Science Guy: Fire Classroom Edition [Interactive DVD]

Description

Bill Nye the Science Guy ignites learning as he shows students how to be Safety Smart around fire. By explaining the science of fire, including the roles heat, fuel and oxygen play, Bill demonstrates how knowledge and awareness provide the opportunities to learn and practice safe behaviors. Public Performance Rights. Spanish language track. Exclusive educational bonus features and assessment tools to reinforce key lessons. The overall message of this fast-paced fire safety video from the Safety Smart Science with Bill Nye the Science Guy series is that fire is the servant, not the master. Going far beyond the traditional stop, drop, and roll approach, Fire illustrates how understanding the science of fire will help enable viewers to control it. Host Bill Nye goes behind the scenes at Underwriters Laboratories, one of the most well-established product safety certifying organizations in the world, where--in extremely controlled situations--we see multiple items bursting into flames, including a complete living room (in under four minutes!). Viewers will also learn basic safety regarding kitchen fires, getting out of a burning room, and keeping a healthy respect for an open flame, but the main lesson here reiterated in a variety of creative ways revolves around identifying and controlling the three elements a fire requires: heat, oxygen, and fuel. DVD extras on this classroom edition include bonus featurettes, an interactive safety-smart quiz, classroom activities, and a downloadable educator s guide. An informative and entertaining guidance program, this is recommended. --(E. Gieschen) Video Librarian--Sep 2009/2010 Review: Safety Smart Science - The dvd is awesome! Have shown it to 3rd-8th graders for the past three years. Bill Nye captures their attention throughout the presentation. I divide the students into two groups to answer the questions at the end and the winning team receives a prize. The younger students love the twin sisters singing. Each student is given a toy fire fighter (purchased at the dollar store) to remind them to take fire safety seriously. Review: Great - Billy Nye has done such great work for so long, when I saw he did a fire safety video, we just had to get it.
