We travelled from the UK to the US to meet a teacher who uses our YouTube videos in class - and then he showed us a cool experiment. More at http://www.periodicvideos.com/
It’s a good thing … It’s a good thing that this man tries to encourage his students to do something with science. teachers that really are interested in their curiculum.
@YamiPoyo: Sorry… … @YamiPoyo: Sorry… showing my Australian/English background there…. If you “shout” a drink or dinner for someone, it means you buy it for them.
Aluminium is spelt … Aluminium is spelt like that so I think you’ll find we’re right. I’ve never seen an American call people from England English before :D, it’s always British.
sulpher and sulfer … sulpher and sulfer is the other major one though i think nowadays we are supposed to use the american version as it sounds more like how it was pronounced when it was first found
@0501701: Yes, … @0501701: Yes, Niagara Falls…. Pittsford isn’t too far from the falls and Mr Rountree and some colleagues were kind enough to drive me up there after school (and they shouted me dinner… how kind is that!?)
They never really … They never really touched the periodic table of elements until I was High School, except to say that it existed. Watching stuff like this really shows how slow my education was compared to others. Glad to see science actually being taught in schools though and not just rote memorization and regurgitation.
