Mr. Wizard taught science for more than 50 years!
August 3rd, 2008 by aeinspruchI came across a blast from the past today! When I was growing up I remember being fascinated with Mr. Wizard, aka, Don Herbert, television’s first science teacher. He demonstrated experiments from his home, as if you were there with him. Perhaps you had been just stopping by and he happened to want to show you something neat. It was too cool. Well, last summer he died. The Mr. Wizard Website has all his old shows and appearances available on DVD as well as other instructional and research tools covering Physics, Chemistry, Earth & Space, Plants & Organisms, Animals, Ecology and Human Biology. There’s a wealth of information for students, parents, teachers, and the merely curious (like me). Who wouldn’t want to see a metal pot scrubbing pad magnified 500X? I love this stuff!!!
