For the Week of August 16th, 2026

Curiosity-provoking links to get your students (and you) wondering!

1. Everyone knows starfish sit still on a rock. Watch one get up and scoot across the sand on hundreds of tiny feet.
2. Anthony Howe builds metal sculptures that sit dead still until the wind hits them, then start breathing.
3. A hummingbird beats its wings too fast to see. Slowed down, you can watch one shake itself dry in midair.
4. Sharks, dolphins, penguins, and a diving gannet all show up to the same ball of sardines at once.
5. Different pills hit water and come apart in completely different ways. No narration, just close-up chemistry.
