Do you have any time on your hands that you need to fill, do you have any students you need to extent? I wonder if I would have completed the following in my mechanics elective in year 9?
More details can be found on the Wired Blog.
Back to the funnies this Friday - the following is a new spin on chemistry. A great way to help memory retention around periodic table facts and chemical reactions, I wonder what chemical reactions would be best to simulate using the methodology used in the following video clip?
The following 2 video's are worth having a look. The time and effort that has gone into them is staggering - the first video was created on a Mac and the second on a Windows PC. Enjoy.

When I was a full time primary classroom teacher I used to get my class to makes these mouse trap cars - it always provide great entertainment and provided a way for students to test hypotheses about the size of the drive lever, wheel base, wheel size and configuration etc.
The following video does a great job in detailing what you need to do - for those that work in metric the follow link may be of use - metric conversions.
The following video is how I feel some days - only problem is that I am the boss, the worker and the person answering the phone.
A hit of golf would be good.
For this weeks funny I had to add this little clip from YouTube. It shows that anyone can record a smart, witty and educational video and share it with the world and with over a million visits that some serious mathematical rap viewing.
And our educational authorities block these sites.... (Apologies to those who are blocked from seeing this at their school)
We all get them - those emails with the funny photos of very silly situations, well here is a clip that has the majority of them all in the one place with some musical accompaniment.
Enjoy this Friday Funny
