What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure;
But scattered along life’s pathway
The good they do is inconceivable.

Believe in yourself and all that you are.
Know that there is something inside you
That is greater than any obstacle.

The Incline Gravity Clock has no batteries or mainspring but it's powered by gravity. As the clock rolls down the incline, gravitational potential energy is translated into the kinetic energy of the moving clock gear train and oscillating balance wheel buff.ly/2UAtach

Used this video to help motivate my students that Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) can do so much more than just turn on nightlights 😜
I can't remember where I found it but I've been eagerly awaiting our electricity unit ever since.

Choose Joy!
Don’t wait for things to get easier, simpler, better.
Life will always be complicated.
Learn to be happy right now.
Otherwise, you’ll run out of time.

Émilie du Châtelet, who hypothesized conservation of energy, established kinetic energy as distinct from momentum and proportional to (speed)², and combined Newton, Leibniz, and her own original ideas in "Institutions de Physique," was born #OTD in 1706.

Happy #Halloween from Hubble! 💀 These interacting galaxies create a creepy “face” in space.
There’s no sound in space, but this scary sonification of Hubble's image will send shivers down your spine...
