The wave theory of light predicts that there should be a bright spot right in the center of the shadow of a spherical object. This sounds crazy...but is it true?
In this video we replicate Pascal's famous experiment that showed atmospheric pressure was due to the column of the weight of the air above. To test this we build a simple pressure measuring device, make measurements around Boston, and then use the ideal gas law to ...

In this video we investigate why neither pure water nor pure salt conduct electricity but salt water does. We demonstrate this using a simple circuit and a variety of fluids.
In this video, I will demonstrate some realistic experiments that many children may have done as a game, but they have never asked the reason. First, I will show three simple experiments that they can easily do at home: 1- Rub two balloons on my hair. When I close them, ...
Grabens and horsts are terrain forms delineated by normal faults.
