Don Herbert, who may be better known as TV’s “Mr. Wizard”, died at age 89 in his suburban Bell Canyon home on Tuesday.
His shows, which included “Watch Mr. Wizard” and “Mr. Wizard’s World”, spanned over 30 years. In both, he taught kids how to analyze, measure, and predict outcomes scientifically, using household objects, in a way that made it fun and educational at the same time.
Thank you Mr. Wizard, for teaching so many of us about science, you will be missed.
