Many of you have asked what sort of things we do in the Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program's weekly Engineering Leadership Labs (ELLs).In this video of our "Blast-Off" ELL on September 28, Gordon Engineering Leaders (GELs) practiced the skills of decision making, ...
Fluvial environment: geologic structures created by a meandering river.
Ever wondered why your ice cream gets harder in the freezer over time, losing its creamy texture? Ostwald Ripening is the culprit, an observed thermodynamic phenomenon described in this video.
Have you ever wondered why your ears pop during airplane take offs and landings? Or why a ballon pops when you squeeze it too much? Find out the phenomenon behind these questions and more!
This is a short video that explains a classic experiment involving vacuum and atmospheric pressure using plungers.
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 ...
At September's Alumni Leadership Conference, four Gordon Engineering Leaders (GELs) shared their experiences at a panel entitled "Student Life at MIT." In this video, Anthony Morelli, Noel Morales, Max Brand (GEL '11), and Tiffany Cheng talk about ...
This video explores water surface tension. First, I will drop a paper clip on the surface of water, and as you may guess it will sink. Second, I will put it on the surface very gently, and surprisingly this time it will stay on the surface! Then, I will add some soap foam ...
This video examines how adding solutes can change the freezing and boiling points of water.
This video examines the phenomenon of Joule heating through the perspective of a blender. I bet you didn't know you could do this much science with your blender.
This video will explore the role of gas pressure. Using two chemical experiments, I will demonstrate how a chemical reaction produces carbon dioxide that increases the gas pressure inside a container and causes it to explode! 1- The first experiment will be a fizzing ...
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.
Glaciers shape mountain terrains into various geologic structures.
Normal faulting is caused by tensional forces in the Earth's crust.
