Science Friday
I once had a primary school teacher who would often wheel the old moving picture box and VCR into the classroom on a Friday afternoon (in retorspect, said teacher may or may not have been suffering from a hangover the odd Friday). The staple diet for these Friday televisual diversions was science and nature programs.
In general I remember all the kids would absolutely lap this stuff up, even the habitually raucous and disruptive students who would normally be having a field (nay, zoo) day on a Friday afternoon would be engrossed.
Anyways, here's my choice for the VCR this Friday. Ciúnas!
A quite bewitching and beautiful video of the graceful birth of a Tornado.
An amazing animation (Quicktime Player required) of a Mars Rover from Launchpad to scratching around on the red planet.
You know the way they say a present you make yourself is of so much more value than something you buy in a shop! Well buddies, don't say I haven't given you plenty of heads up - I WANT ONE OF THESE FOR CHRISTMAS! The Time Fountain (More here).
I don't know what they're showing in relation to Sex Education videos in Schools these days (Alas! They were absent in my day.) But here's a suggestion.
Finally, your homework for the weekend readers - I want two pages Monday morning on your experience of the Perseids over the weekend.
Dismissed, enjoy the weekend!
