More Awesome Science! (videos and resources)

Time for some more awesome science -

With some student friendly, ready to use teaching materials to match!

Time Lapse Erosion

Two amazing looks at erosion - aided by time lapse! Above,

Collaroy-Narrabeen Beach (Sydney, Australia) in June 2007. During 3 days,

almost 300 000 cubic meters of sand was removed from the beach.

Below, the erosion of a soccer ball over time.

Both work well with one of my freebie resources:

FREE Rock Cycle Simulation Lab 

 

The Egg in the Bottle

Whoa! The fire consumes the oxygen - around 21% of the air inside the bottle.

This leaves relatively low pressure inside the bottle (as compared to

the relatively high pressure outside the bottle). This higher pressure outside

air pushes the egg in!

This demo is a great match with

my Air Pressure Lab Pack or Percent Oxygen Lab!

The Ultimate Zoom-In Shot

 One of my (and student) favorites! 
A simulated zoom from the outskirts of the universe to the inside of an atom!
This is great for looking at relative sizes, and can easily be paired with my  
Cells vs. Atoms Worksheet.




The Blubber Glove

I have a friend who participated in a pain study at the National Institutes of Health.

She had to keep her hand in ice water as long as she could stand it - too bad

she didn't have blubber! Blubber is an incredible insulator, allowing very little heat to

transfer from the hand to the water!

This demo makes for some great lessons when paired with my Conduction Lab, 

Heat Notes Pages, Heat Transfer Practice Worksheet,and FREE Heat MiniQuiz.

Or get them all (and more) with the Heat Transfer Teacher Pack!
