I love the face on the banana! Oh and there’s a cute montage at the end!
I couldn’t hear anyone in the second video. :< It looks funny though.
Oh amazing! Stop frame animation! That takes a lot of work! Great job on that one! Lol, Iron's pet octopus.
Metalloids in plain English was a nice change from those large scientific words.
Haha sock puppets! It would be nice if they had some eyes drawn on them.
Glow sticks, I don't think I've ever seen a movie with those, very nice.
All of these videos were very creative! A great way to change up science class.

Hi! I’m in the EDM 310 class at the University of South Alabama. These are very creative videos! I watched the one about halogens. Who would have thought you could learn so much from sock puppets?! You guys seem like you’re having fun with learning and that’s what it’s all about! Keep up the good work!

Transition Metals was an incredible clip! You all did a wonderful job on making the clay figures and telling about the different types of metals.

Hi,

I am in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama. I watched the Halogens video. I thought you all did a fantastic job creating your video. I recently made a video for our class, and I had so much fun making it. I thought the sock puppets were a creative idea, and the video was very informative. I greatly enjoyed it.

Thanks,

Jamie Lynn Miller

What an informative video! I agree with David Mathis, I did learn several new things after watching this video.
Nice Work!

Metalloids & Semi-Conductors in Plain English:
I found this video very informing. I like the unique way of presenting 5 of the 7 metalloids. I learned something new today after watching this video, like we have poison in our body, WOW. Great video, and good job.

I think our current focus on accountability through standardized tests is a major road block to promoting schools that foster scientific curiosity.

I think Neil deGrasse Tyson nails it when he talks about what scientific literacy really is. After proctoring our local state standardized test, I didn’t see any questions that really got at his definition of scientific literacy. The version of “scientific literacy” we’re testing for isn’t what it should be.

Where should it start? Since the current educational environment seems to be going towards more standardization and testing, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a top down movement. It needs to start with individual teachers showing that teaching for curiosity is better for our children developmentally and academically.

That’s a brilliant idea. Where do we start?

I love reading NdT. You are right, he does an amazing job of explaining the mysteries of the universe in terms that everyone can understand. I have a copy of Death by Blackhole that was read by most of my Astronomy kids last year. Without it being an assignment!

I’ll second that. I’m in. Lets get it done in more than one country. We to the north have the same issues and some with the same passion.
