My favorite resource this week is the Faraday Lectures.
Michael Faraday was a British physicist in the mid-1800's.
He believed that if science was fun for kids more kids would like science
and he held Free Christmas Science Lectures at the Royal Institution.
Rutgers carries on the tradition by offering Free Christmas Science Lectures known as
The Faraday Lectures.
They are amazing.
We see sound waves. seriously.
We see light rays.
We hypothesize that if smoke comes out of a round hole it will be round,
but if you make that hole square, will it be square?
There are awesome experiments set up in the lobby.

Rutgers is very cool in that they allow students the option of coming up with an experiment to "teach" at something like the Faraday Lectures in lieu of a final exam.
I always think application is better than rote memorization.
Some of our friends even got to stand on a bed of nails!
We learned that surface area is critical in this!
What was your favorite resource this week?
