We currently have, running on Auto-pilot, this month's storyboard of 6 video clips (Looping approximately every 34:56 min) The clips are...

  1. Screaming jelly baby (02:13 min)
    -A video showcase hosted on http://www.youtube.com/tdacampaign shows five real and creative school science classes from this 'screaming jelly babies' video to fluids dancing to a bass amplifier. The most popular experiment will be carried out on a massive scale at the TDA's Train to Teach recruitment events in 2009.
    Ever wondered what would make a jelly baby scream? What about how to demonstrate respiration in a fun and easy-to-learn way? The 'screaming jelly baby' is your answer.
    Jane Arthur-Eaton from Helston Community College uses jelly babies (pure sugar) and heated potassium chlorate (an oxidising agent) to demonstrate how much energy can be released from food using oxygen. The result: a screaming jelly baby and lots of light and heat!
  2. Did You Know? (04:56 min)
    -We’ve included this in our eMagazine about two years ago but, since it has been updated (new data and visuals) I thought that it was worth sharing again. A Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman.
  3. A Shared Culture (03:20 min)
