Hi Darren! Im a student teacher from Murcia ( Spain ). I found your blog on the internet and I think it's very interesting and useful, and all the experiments you share with the rest of the world are just amazing.
Greetings, Francisco.

I think that what you are doing in science is pretty fantastic. I know that you say it is to stimulate your creative side however it is doing the same for your students. Their engagement in lessons must be a sight to see. Keep up the fabulous work. Our future depends on it!

Hey Darren,
This project was part of the inspiration for a piece of content I wrote for Scientific American's Bring Science Home. I included a link to your blog at the end of the article. Check it out.

I am a pre-service teacher and I can see you do a lot of demos for your classroom. Do you come up with these demos on your own, or do you have a resource that helps you? These are some cool demos and are easy enough to do in a classroom.

Thanks for the kind words! Making these videos and posts is really a valuable way of changing/adapting my teaching to spur student thinking. Lately I'm trying to make these more inquiry based, so that students are the ones asking the questions and trying to devise ways of investigating. With the implementation of the new common core standards and the increasing possibility of the adoption of the next generation science standards, my focus in teaching has become less in making science easier for students to understand, but rather to spur students to want to question and investigate themselves.
