Ғылым және технология
This episode was chosen by Don Herbert, TV’ Mr.Wizard’, as one of his Top 100 from his famous ‘Watch Mr.Wizard’ TV series which ran from 1951 to 1965 on National Television. During that period the Press named him ‘America’s Favorite Science Teacher’.
While his television fame recognized him as a National Science presenter, General Electric hired him as their Science Reporter
introducing GE’s new technology advances in their commercials during the TV Series ‘GE Theater,’ with Ronald Reagan as their host.
During the 1960s Mr.Wizard created 8 Films featuring Pulitzer Prize Scientists titled ‘Experiment’ presented by Don Herbert, TV’s Mr.Wizard.
He later created and starred in the Nickelodeon Series ‘Mr.Wizard’s World’ which ran for 78 episodes from 1983 to 1991. You can see those episodes and clips on our Official Mr.Wizard’s World Channel on KZread!
After Mr.Wizard’s World, he created 293 ninety-second Science & Technology Reports in the late 1980s. Check these out on our channel.
Mr.Wizard’s ‘Teacher to Teacher Series' became Don’s last creation in 1991 when he created 50 films featuring American Science Teachers in their classrooms. They were chosen because of the amazing success they had with their student's learning curve through a ‘hands-on’ approach to grade school science in the classroom.
Mr.Wizard was a frequent guest at the Annual National Science Teachers Association conventions around the country.
Mr.Wizard Studios, over the years, had received grants and support from the National Science Foundation and General Motors for his Excellence in Science Education. Don received commendations from Presidents Ronald Reagan & Bill Clinton for his contribution to Science Education in America. Emmy Nominations and a Peabody Award are among his hundreds of science awards for a career that spanned 60 years and is still ‘edutaining’ moving forward, thanks to his family & Mr.Wizard Studios, Inc. keeping his legacy alive.
In 2014 The Mr.Wizard Archives were accepted into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History in Washing, D.C.

Hope all is well. We need more Mr. Wizard videos!
Holy hell! What a gem! I watched him during the early 80s. I had no idea he was doing this in the 60s!
It’s awesome to see so much of Watch Mr. Wizard and Mr. Wizard’s World on here, but whatever happened to the 1971 revival he did? Hopefully those aren’t lost.
I only ever watched him in the 80s, never knew he had these but he was just awesome

Looking back he was older in the 80s even. We were just kids though
There’s a guy called “Wizard IV” making content on a KZread channel called Midnight Science Club. It’s basically this exactly style of content, but shorter form videos. Pretty cool!
I love watching these. I grew up on Mr. Wizards World, so this series is new to me as I watch here.
Wow! I love that there is a currently uploading channel for Mr Wizzard. I am currently 40 and grew up with this man blowing my mind. Bill Nye just wasn't quite the same and due to the way media worked at the time was more difficult to watch. I will definitely make my kids watch some of this.
THey had those good ol' strike anywhere matches back in the day. Hard to find those the past several years. I lucked out and found a package of mini boxes of diamond strike anywhere matches several months ago at Rural King.
Interesting science behind a common candle flame. The reason it is hollow makes sense now. Never really understood why nor was I taught the reason back in the early 70's.
Bravo!
Mr. Wizzle always playing games
Science in lighting....process and timing
Of course, when he needs smoke to demonstrate air flow, he lights up a cigarette… 😂
That little girl would be around 70 now

Retirement age or dead .
Are you gong to upload more of these episodes?
Just saw on another Mr. Wizard video in the Comment section where Rita sadly passed away this past Christmas at the age of 71.

It's great to see a girl as Mr. Wizard's assistant back when science was reserved for the boys.

That's feminist gibberish. Science was never "reserved for boys" back then. Boys and girls both took the same science classes throughout HS. Both took the same math classes. Girls were never segregated from boys.

@@jaymaloney8321 well this was already the 1960s. Perhaps the coed schools with coed science came into being because of feminist advocacy.

@@yovtobe No. "Feminist advocacy" wasn't a thing until the early 70s, maybe the late 60s. The idea that girls were separated from science classes is a Feminist trope that's a total falsehood. The only sex separations were "shop classes" for boys, and "Home economics" for girls.
Back in the days when you could force kids to burn themselves and they would thank you for it.

Yeah that was weird
The little girl was Rita McLaughlin. She was such a truly sweet thing, always well turned out and bright as sunshine. I was about her age at that time, and had such a crush. Boys at that time were clueless about girls and had no idea how to talk with them. I figure there must have been a kaziilion little boys who would have loved to meet sweet, bright Rita as a friend.

She was the "stand in double" for Patty Duke, on her TV series about "identical cousins" [we believed anything in 1963, until November 22nd], and she was on "As The World Turns" for eleven years. She died on Christmas Day of 2022, which was the 41st anniversary of her exit from that show. There are many more interesting facts about her life. Search online, in the usual places. Some of them will contain the truth.

My mom had a friend that surname about the same age as her. No idea if any relation
So it's ok for people to le kids into a strange man's house with the lights off in the1960s at night ? Talk about automatic prison time!
i loved mr wizard growing up. today he'd be arrested for burning innocent child on tv😒. "progress" is weird.
At 2:21 he should have said "If you drop that copper tube ... something bad is gonna happen"
