Amazing Alex: Physics App from the Creators of Angry Birds
09/20/2012 by SAM in EDUCATIONAL APPS with 0 COMMENTS
If you've been using Angry Birds to teach physics and carefully showing kids how important the trajectory launch path is, then this educational app is for you! Rovio Entertainment have released a new Physics app 'Amazing Alex ', to get you more addicted than ever.
The educational app is a new physics-based puzzle game. The game centers around whiz kid Alex and his incredible creations, inviting fans to step into Alex's world of creative chain reactions: solving puzzles, designing their own levels, and sharing their creativity with the world.
Squishy circuits are a project from the Thomas Lab at the University of St. Thomas. The goal of the project is to design tools and activities which allow kids of all ages to create circuits and explore electronics using play dough.
"MIT+K12 is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to harness the creativity of MIT's most outstanding asset -- its students -- in bringing excitement and understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math to kids."
Science is awesome. Food is awesome. Blending the two together rocks faces off. Teachers and parents looking for some projects to introduce their students to the basic principles of chemistry, physics, biology and more can easily turn to the kitchen for inspiration. The following experiments vary when it comes to materials, difficulty levels and cost, so read them over thoroughly before making any commitments. Always practice proper safety precautions as well, most especially when tooling around with fire and acids and other lovely things.
"With science and math in the headlines, teachers are under more pressure than ever to keep kids up to date. But with shrinking budgets and growing class sizes, it is getting more and more difficult to do so.
You could always go to the internet for help, but digging through all of those sites could take hours. Save yourself the hassle and worry. We have done the work and provided the 100 best websites for science teachers below."

too bad this show fucking sucked. these god damn retards running around doing shit with a high speed camera.. it's written as if the audience is a group of 4th graders. make a high speed video of you trying to fit a whole live grenade in your mouths.. then maybe i'll watch.

You can see this happen if you piss in the shower, little water balls will roll across the top of the water, and they'll be piss colored!

A shame that some dimwitted and rather vulgar children seem compelled to comment on every post. Personally, I enjoy this show. Specialized film cameras could do this for years, but they were very expensive to own and operate. Technology now makes it much easier. The pioneer of the high speed film cameras was Harold Edgerton. Well worth a look if you have the time.

Looks amazing at 2000 FPS. Try it with hot water drops dropping into cold water. You will actually see the spherical water drops floa
