This is just so cool! It’s Maria Ikenberry’s video of the ‘pendulum wave’ demonstration created by Appalachian State University teacher Jeff Goodman…
Wow! Isn’t science awesome? And I just love the reactions of the kids! 🙂

So cool. I’ve seen the little desktop set-up with 5 little silver balls, but this is SO much better! As for the explanation, I knew before I started that it would be a lost cause.
