We're Free-falling.

I decided to take a break from musical resources and instead used an informational video. The experiment these boys undertake is similar to the one that we preformed when we tried to get the height of 3rd Anderson. They went about it in the same manner that we did, although their equation was a little different. The video helped make the concept of free falling more interesting for viewers. Also, the dramatic music added an extra touch. It can be a little over-the-top at times, (aka when they demonstrate with someone "jumping off of a building") but they still take a very sensible route to find their solutions.However, my one concern for this video was instead of throwing a ball of the cliff, they threw a television. I hope it was broken or else some parent might have gotten a little ticked.

  1. Something I liked about your blog was that this was a very original resource which helped me stay engaged. One thing that was similar to mine was that my video also had demonstrations in it of people throwing things from extreme heights. Something that was different from mine was that Bill Nye did not give a formula or explain anything, he simply showed different things of different weights being thrown. I don't have any constructive criticism for you because I thought this video was very helpful.
