Screaming Jellybaby
There are loads of these on the internet.
In this one, a bunch of halfwits fire bits of the reaction all over the show.
The Why’s Guy – a great resource of Chemistry and Physics clips
This one’s been a team effort, so thanks. Specko from the TES Boards pointed me in the direction of this site, which is an archive of clips from a show called the Morning Show in the States. Each week, Mats Selens does an experiment or two and explains what’s going on. Nice, short, simple, well-explained – just the way we like it. I contacted Mats (the one with the beard) and he gave me permission to put a clip on this blog, so please go and investigate his site. For each episode, you can download a .wmv file which is of much better quality than these YouTube compressions.
In these two sample clips, Mats is explaining electrolysis of water and discussing the use of fuel cells and hydrogen as a power source.
Part two after the jump.
2000 Views and a Brainiac post
Thanks for the support so far – this blog’s only been going six weeks and it feels like it’s coming along nicely.
Love ’em or loathe ’em, Brainiac is a decent way to engage the telly-addicted, so I thought I’d put up one of their clips. Here is the Brainiac way of doing the thermite reaction:
Mybusters: Diet Coke and Mentos
I like Mythbusters – especially when some helpful soul cuts the experiments together into single clips, rather than having to flick through a whole episode. Thanks to dannynic from the TES Boards for this link.
I’ll get some more Mythbusters and Brainiac clips up soon – snowed under with student-led conferences at the moment.
By JoVE, it’s Science on video!
While searching for videos on the use of a hemocytometer, I happened upon the Journal of Visualised Experiments. Go on… have a look.
They also have a sister site here:
dnatube.com
It’s a blog/youtube site for Science only, and has some decent videos sorted into categories. I’m still trying to work out how to save or embed these videos, but it’s well worth a look. Great for introducing up-to-date Science topics in class.
Planet Earth: An Inconvenient Spoof
While trawling Google Video for short Planet Earth excerpts, I came upon this mock trailer. It’s filed under ‘comedy’ but is a stark reminder of our destructive influence on the world.
Mate Attraction: Bird of Paradise
It almost doesn’t look real, but this we chappy comes direct from Attenborough – so it must be true!
BBC’s Planet Earth is awesome. I wish my telly was bigger than 14″
