On the awesome blog, Open Culture, I found two really unique and interesting science videos. Both videos give visual depictions of scientific concepts that you don’t typically see demonstrated visually.
This first video is called The Geometry of Sound. In this video you will see grains of sand transformed into various shapes and patterns as the sounds change. Warning, if you’re sensitive to high-pitched sounds, you will want to turn your volume down a little bit.
This second video is called the Magnetic Movie. This video was created in a lab at NASA. The video demonstrates and explains how magnetic fields exist and move in our environment.
Applications for Education
Both of these videos are great for visually demonstrating scientific concepts. Not only could the Geometry of Sound be used in science classes, it would also fit well in a music course.
