Iceberg dead ahead! Sure, luck brought Jake (me) to the deck of the most prestigious ocean liner on her maiden voyage…and into the arms of the love of his life…but that luck has clearly run out. We must race to find a way off the ship while exploring buoyancy and finding out if you could survive jumping off a ship’s deck into the ocean, as well as the crushing power of hypothermia. And no journey to the heart of the ocean is complete without a thorough examination of the greatest question still plaguing the world today; could you survive if two people both laid on a floating door?

Jake (me) finds himself in a mall in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Which turns out to be a great place to learn about viruses - what are they, how do they affect you, how do you stop them…and can they give you zombie super strength (i.e. ripping off some limbs with your bare zombie hands)?

A run-in with a Dark Wizard bent on world domination leaves Jake (me) defenseless and stripped of magical powers. Enlisting the help of his wizard friends, Jake (me again!) must regain some semblance of what he lost using science to create an invisibility cloak via radiant energy, overcome the forces of gravity to fly with magnetic energy, and to create a wand through electrical energy - all before confronting the Dark Wizard once more in the hopes of defeating them once and for all.
