media type="custom" key="10693502" || Wormholes. The future of space travel? Apparently, space is flexible and can be bent using wormholes! Who'd of thought? || Classic historical footage that most of us have probably never seen. || media type="custom" key="10693490" || Underwater Forts = Awesome! Made by a family of qualified scuba divers, in a lake, in Nevada. From the website... "It's amazing what you can accomplish when your dad's garage is full of useful parts and pieces, and your whole family is certified as scuba divers." Imagine the potential! || media type="custom" key="10693484" || Solar Roads A fascinating and the more you watch, possibly possible, solution to our environmental future. Thinking outside the square at its very best. || media type="custom" key="10693480" || Jump! Ive just been in the UK where all the kids are into Parkour. The definition of Parkour is: 'the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment'. I think most of the kids i saw were probably using it to the effect of escaping from truant officers. Which actually goes against the philosophy of Parkour. But this video is extremely impressive nonetheless. Just explain to the students about the whole 'don't try this at school' philosophy of health and safety policy. || media type="custom" key="10693476"

media type="custom" key="10693472" || Awesome Golf Shots You may not agree with me that awesome golf shots are educational. But you'd be wrong. Physics at its purest!

So behold the glory and skill in these clips. || media type="custom" key="10693468" || Awesomely Weird Nature Stuff Here is an exotic and mysterious type of caterpillar with a death claw...enough said. || A super slow-mo camera captures various items breaking in all their glory. A fascinating clip with many scientific possibilities explained...save the mess and the need to buy a gun to shoot through jelly! || media type="custom" key="10693458" || Optical Illusions An excellent, quick, video clip explaining optical illusions. || Here's some more optical illusions explained. The cloud one is particulalry interesting. || media type="custom" key="10693432" || The Internet...In Numbers This video outlines some pretty staggering statistics about the internet and how we use it. || The background on how the Internet came to be the beast it now is. Very interesting and not that dry to be honest, so worth the watch for sure. || media type="custom" key="10693420" || The Future of Furniture? With population exponentially growing, space in major cities is an increasingly expensive reality. Small spaces can't cope with our society's need for consumption and possessions, so what's the solution? This video offers some awesome alternatives, and all with an eye for contemporary design and mechanical engineering. Amazing stuff to watch. || This clip is truely inspiring. If you have any students who struggle with language, this clip is testament to the power of perseverance. A fascinating look at how our brain works too. || media type="custom" key="10693408" || Ice Cream **is** Judgmental This clip is a promotional video for a new type of vending machine that rewards genuine smiles with ice cream. Very 'future' technology and really setting the scene for all sorts of potential advertising of consumer products. Just think of the implications of the data being stored by vending machines all over the world on unsuspecting consumers...They are already in public. You can read the article that explains it further here: Click || Awesomeness with Ping Pong balls. Far too much time on their hands but absolutely no doubting their talents are extraordinary.

This video is a fascinating insight into what impact looks like on different materials. Very cool. || media type="custom" key="10693376" || Smoking is Bad For You Watch as this video proves smoking, motorbikes and teenagers don't mix in any shape of form. Perfect to show your students how stupid choices generally have severe consequences. The concpet itself is actually quite clever but the outcome is not. || This clip is great to watch as part of any global change inquiry or topic around the environment. Real visual impact is obvious and the imagery of a rising sea level and the impact it has on an island nation very close to NZ are powerful. || media type="custom" key="10693362" || World Cup 2010 is here because Nike have put out their ad Shameless advertising? Yes. Useful in teaching? Not really. But this advertisement is possibly the best ever football advertisement and a perfect way to get the kids ready for South Africa 2010. Apparently Nike even sent their sponsored footballers boots with names stitched in...even the NZ players! Think how many $1 a day workers that took...could be a great start for a fair trade topic study. || Apart from the physical abuse displayed by the boss in this classic slpastick comedy piece from yesteryear, this clip is a great way to explain how confusing maths can be to human beings. || media type="custom" key="10693350" || Time Travel is Possible- Stephen Hawkins says so!

Could be a cool literacy activity! || media type="custom" key="10693324" || Never Give Up Don't let an unfortunate situation get the better of you! Here is a somewhat dramatic yet light-hearted clip on problem solving. Your students will adore this video. (Thanks Ben from Chisnallwood Int School) || This brilliant video explains why it is important that following a good leader sets the tone for everyone. Its the person who takes the risk to follow a leader who is the real inspiration...an interesting consideration. || media type="custom" key="10693314" || Space Chair This was a real project for Toshiba. Shot in HD this shows amazing views of our planet and the atmosphere above. Perfect for those curious minds in the class who always wondered what it would be like if you tied loads of balloons to a deck chair... (Here is the link to watch the making of this commercial) @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK4S2XkcmJo || media type="custom" key="10693310" || Spiderman Fights Crime A real crime fighting Spiderman stops evil in its tracks thanks to help from his fellow crime fighting heros.
