This is a great youtube movie about the earth.... It gives a good idea about early earth and plate tectonics



This is an average (being honest) that does a decent job of showing how the plates move.... It is a little boring but it does a good job showing how things move.....



Also check the test review pages at www.robmward.com for the test reviews and jeopardy games....



Ugh... enough boring stuff.... Here is the clip that made youtube..... I like the first 15 seconds the best.... I tried to do this in a gym and I got booted out!

Cats in Sinks.com


It is a real site Cats in Sinks!

Japanese Game Shows

Human Tetris.

I can't believe that someone has not adapted this game for the US. I would watch it everynight.

Morocco had a gameshow that was similar but it involved more people being chased by bulls. However, it does not quite rival this game.



It reminds me a lot of my old favorite.

Sweet Explosions

Why care about school? Why learn science?

The answer is found (indirectly) in this video. Sure, scientists gety paid more than your standard job and science can help you do things like being a doctor, one of people from CSI, or even a junior high science teacher!

But more importantly, science can help you do things like this and get paid for it.

I changed my mind about my dream job. I should be making exploding bathtub videos


By the way, the science behind this is pretty simple. the alkali metals are simply very unstable. They want to give away electrons. The hydrogens are shed off of water and the heat from the reaction causes explosions.

In non-science speak: Thingys + water= BOOM!





My three favorite things about this video...

1. The boring science video + Kenny Loggin's "Highway to the danger zone"
2. The random people being set on fire.
3. Mr. Tickle running away from impending explosions.

Photosynthesis Video


Well,

I think I have discovered that I really made a mistake going into teaching....

My true calling is making videos like this one. It combines computers, science, photosynthesis, and someone singing in a high voice about Photo-Syth-thi_sis.

Who has visited me today?
