For Kids & Teachers | Bill Nye the Science Guy Hey kids, hey teachers! Here are the Home Demos, the experiments you should try at home sometime. We call them demonstrations (demos for short), because we hope we already know what’s going to happen. But of course, doing it for yourself is equal to being told what should happen about a thousand times. So, try them! Keep clicking around and you’ll find the Episode Guides. We’ve also made it easy for anyone to select from a number of Printable One Sheets. My latest project is about math. Challenge yourself.
