It's rare, I think, that a teacher will, like Mr. Wizard, bring the lesson, enthusiasm, experiment, entertainment and excitement to the level of the student without coming across as unnatural or condescending etc.

Mr Wizzard, Don Herbert, was my mentor as a child. Thanks to him, I became an engineer and later a teacher. His technique of teaching inspired me to learn why and how the world works.

The computer Stacy uses here is an Epson QX-10, first released in 1983.

Neato!

The boy in the rain segment is Christian Malcolm, who starred in perhaps the greatest Canadian movie ever made: The Final Sacrifice. Stacy, I believe, became a lawyer.

This was one of my favorite episodes growing up.

Quite funny when he tells a child 'whenever you get some dried ice'. Is that in the toy section.. or?

It's in a small freezer, at the front of the local Meijer.

Legend says its still printing

I remember watching this Nickelodeon show and it's educational.

"So kids have a lot of fun w. that" Right, because kids have easy access to dry ice Also notice that at 0:53 when the show opens, both sinks are empty. At 3:50, when they go to make the cloud, there's dry ice in one, and the other is full of steaming hot water. Yet the sinks are visible through most of the segment, and you never see any activity. That's the magic of television LOL

The dry ice segment made me think of the KZreadrs that died from using a bunch of dry ice in a swimming pool. People should keep in mind that CO2 can asphyxiate you.

Heck, dry ice is often used to euthanize large numbers of mice, rats, and rabbits bred for snake/hawk/alligator/servals and other wild cats/ etc. food in sealed plastic chambers.

Is that a Vectrex? Did they use it in the show?
