Queen Bee Laying Eggs - Animal Behavior

Image
 Bees and ant have an unusual reproductive strategy: only one female per colony lays eggs, and the rest of the female bees are sterile.  Let's have a look at the egg laying process. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13bjG3N6AvvMZtKHLUbwyOXo7o0KHx9uP/view?usp=drive_link

Why is Freezer Hard to Open? - Pressure and Temperature 🌡️❄️

Image
    To open a freezer, you need about 67 N or 7 kgf.  But if you have to open it again, right after it has been opened, it would take about 200 or 20 kgf! - It's almost 3 times more force!     But why is it so hard to open the freezer door the second time? Let's find out! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xNrJ-jGdCH86AfRw_JxHGEGMw426xyqy/view?usp=drive_link Why are freezers so hard to open? - YouTube

Anatomy - Joints - Best Video 💪🏻🦴

Image
 Here is the best video I could find about anatomy of joints.     Have you noticed that you can only move your elbow and knee back and forth? And your shoulders and hips can move: back and forth, left and right, and also rotate! Your knees and elbows have a hinge joint. You hips and shoulders have a ball-and-socket joint. Let's find out more about the 6 types of joints and where to find them! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z-gnPbmQXjx0PJKPzTqEMGa4rv-uAZC4/view?usp=sharing

Prove that Light is a Wave! - 3 In-class Experiments

Image
 Here are some 3 cool experiments that you can do in class if you have a laser pointer. One of them shows that light is not just a stream of particles/ photons, but a wave at the same time. 1. Laser does not spread out with distance the way the flashlight beam does 2. You cannot see a laser beam from a side. You need a mist to disperse it 3. The famous "double slit experiment"   There is only one hard word that we have to learn today - Diffraction .

     Have you tried mixing soda with vinegar? This is an acid-base reaction. When you burn something, it's a redox reaction.  Let's see the list of all the reactions! It is very big List of organic reactions - Wikipedia

Prove that NEGATIVE times NEGATIVE gives POSITIVE - Real-life example

Image
You shall know that: +*+ = + +*-  = - -*+  = - -*-  = + But why? Here is a real-life example. Video: Prove that Negative Times Negative Gives Positive (youtube.com) Example 1: + +  Let's say you gain 2 dollars every day - the coefficient is  +2 How much the amount of money that you have would change in 3 days? - the number of days is +3 So the amount of money you earned in +3 days with +2 each day is 3*2 = +6 dollars   Example 2: - + How much money did you have 3 days ago comparing to now? -3 days  -3 days, times +2 dollars per day, -3*2 = -6 dollars Example 3: - - You spend 2 dollars each day - the coefficient is -2 How much money, comparing to now, you had 2 days ago? -2 days -2 dollars per day * -2 days ago, -2*-2 = +4 dollars 

Cup vs Mug - English words

Image
 Do you know these objects - how to use them, why do we need them, and what to call them in English? Pan Pot Wok Plate Bowl Cup Mug Jug Clay pot 1. Form groups of 4 people 2. Each group thinks of as many as possible words, similar to these 3. You write them down on your poster in a big nice font 4. Each student in the group takes one A4 paper, choses one object from the list, and draws it schematically. Reveal each drawing during the group presentation - it shall be fun.
