I was underneath working the drill but fortunately this capable young man named Marasco got some good slo-no that he shared with me.

New to teaching #physics? 🤔 Go to tinyurl.com/thePTSOS to register for our Sept. 28th workshop at Granada High School! Come learn from experienced educators about motion, forces and more. The event is FREE and food is provided. Go to ThePTSOS.org for more info.
Watercolor in spray bottles sprayed on a papar towel is a great large visual for pigment mixing (color absorption/subtraction) I learned at @ThePTSOS years ago. Still a crowd pleaser.

Tom demonstrates a square Chladni plate @ThePTSOS workshop today. I will probably be finding sand on my front desk for weeks but it was worth it.
