One of the few important things I remember from junior high school science was actually something I learned when I was sitting home sick watching bad TV. It happened as I watched my first episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy. While most of the his ADD ridden lessons escape me now, his theme song does not. About two-thirds of the way through the intro theme, a woman in a monotone voice states “Inertia is a property of matter”. For some reason, that one line has stuck with me to this day.
