For the Week of March 30th, 2025
Curiosity-provoking links to get your students (and you) wondering!
- Check out these marble racing on tracks – complete with a commentator! The level of professionalism in these videos is fantastic. Thanks to Jennifer for the link.
- A magnetic Newton’s Cradle. To activate curiosity, strategically pause the video to allow for wondering and predicting. For example, stop this video at 0:34 and let students predict! Then, unpause and enjoy their reactions.
- Cats and dominos! There is some absolutely thrilling suspense in this video.
- Closeup footage of steam rising up and creating a rainbow effect called iridiscence. Surprisingly beautiful! Then you can watch this video for the explanation.
- These delightful robot fighters give me hope that the robot uprising is a long way off 😆. The robot standing back up at 1:28 is both hilarious and terrifying!
