Summary

In this episode of the series, Bill Nye discusses how inventions can change the world. Many devices were invented in response to problems, but some inventions, like X-rays, occurred by accident. Bill Nye the Science Guy: Inventions looks at how inventions happen with his special guest Samuel L. Jackson. He suggests that young science students can invent, given the right idea and some motivation. Each episode features an experiment that can be done at home, and the music video this time is "Waiting to Invent" by "Eli Whitney Houston." ~ Alice Day, Rovi
