Hi Sydney, my name is Tim and I am a student teacher from Brandon University. I remember watching Bill Nye videos when I was in school too. The videos are great because they are fun, and they teach you a lot. I can tell you learned a lot from all the questions you answered, and reading through your blog I learned a few things too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Sydney, I'm Rod McLeod a classmate of Tim's. Have you seen Bill Nye lately? He is looking a bit older than he used to. He actually was in this Nike Commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WidigCsya5w . Anyways I like all the facts about the eye. I had no idea about all these facts about the eye itself so thats pretty cool. I'll have to check out that episode. You keep up the good work and Go Bill!
