Newton’s three laws explained, with demonstrations.
Director's Notes:
This is a complex film, with lots of elements to squeeze in. But the production team have given each experiment just enough time to be clear, and the result is a film that cracks along very quickly. That’s important to prevent it becoming boring - we all know curriculum physics when we see it!
SciCast Notes:
SciCast’s first contributed film! Hurray!
Despite the driving rain, this bunch turned out and did their thing for the camera, and I love the little touches. The whoop before running across the gym wearing bin bags - priceless! The glee at sitting on the knees of the person behind you - how many times did that fail, one wonders? And, finally, at the end, reference to the incessant rain. They’re soaked… and still experimenting.
If we had an award category for ‘triumph against the elements,’ this lot would be hot favourites.
