Everyday there's something research worthy
that pops up in the newsfeed, or headlines. As an author, research comes second
nature, but it can be dry. One of the simplest ways to get good information is
to find a reliable audio or video source that'll convey the information you're
looking for in an understandable manner. While there are hundreds, if not
thousands of sources online, not all are reliable or understandable. I have
found one YouTube channel that is both of those and entertaining.
For my family, this has made science and
science projects a lot more fun. The channel is SciShow, all three of them.
Today I wanted to share three of my favorite videos from SciShow Space. They
are fun, funny, and understandable.
This one is fun because it show's a recent
event that captivated the attention of many in the United States. As you watch,
you see the host, Hank Green, break down the event and all the related
information simply and had fun with it.
This one is fun and from SciShow instead of
SciShow Space. It's something that I used to start my researching for one of my
book series. As you can see, he reviews everything identified and connects them
to another group along the human evolutionary time line. Again, Hank Green is
concise but keeps you entertained throughout.
This one actually made me giggle right from
the beginning. As they begin, they explain that White Holes aren't possible and
his expression when he says we might have seen one is priceless. Makes me smile
every time. He is good as a presenter and made many videos with SciShow Space.
As a presenter, Reid is as natural as Hank is in the other videos, and
humorous.
I hope you find these as entertaining as I
do. Each one is really fun to watch and a great start for researching new
information, or projects that need the science. They are often fun for binge
watching if you're a fellow science nerd.
