      @@seanleith5312 - It’s ok for people to use a colloquialism to spark the kind of imagination that generates interest in an idea. Think of it like this: Did you ever buy or listen to a David Robert Jones record? How about Robert Allen Zimmerman? Me either. Those are technically the real names of David Bowie and Bob Dylan, but nobody cares, and no one ever corrected a girl for not saying their real names if he expected her to kiss him.

      @@Captain_Coleslaw - That science teacher wouldn’t need any of that equipment to get the attention of well-raised kids. No amount of money can make up for poorly behaved kids. I used to work in a science museum, and I showed science movies to many groups of kids from all different parts of town, both rich and poor, who were very well behaved. Only once did I witness a problem, and it was a consequence of poor parenting and pathological leadership. You could have put those kids in the International Space Station and they would have acted badly.

    I'm 58 years old, loved science my entire life and I must admit, even though this lecture is directed toward children; it was truly captivating! Mr. Chris Bishop breaks the mold of the 'Stuffy old Science Teacher" and delivers instruction with the stoic excitement you'd expect from a British Instructor from Cambridge. I would love to watch every one of his lectures. Brilliant Job Sir!!

    You gottta love Chris Bishop! He is creating future scientists, fascinated by what science can do! Great presentations, fabulous staging, and fantastic and unhurried explanations of what is happening. I am 63 years old now, and used to go to lectures at Harvard University and MIT when I was six years old. The ones at Harvard were done by an emeritus professor of chemistry named Dr. Rokow, another great presenter, to our misfortune, no longer with us. To our great fortune Professor Bishop carries on this fabulous tradition! I am sure that many of the young volunteers in his lectures will end up in science departments at great universities, and go onward to become great people in their own right. Bishop is an inspiration.

    My father was one of the guys who balanced the Saturn V rocket on 1.5 miles of fire! He designed the Main Engine Controller and computer for the job. Not bad for a man who's first job was cutting down trees with a cross cut saw in the woods of Oregon with horse logging. But it is about the same job to aim a falling tree as to aim a rocket.

      As a science teacher for 25 years
      let me reply.
      Firstly, the demostrations are aimed at people who have an interest in the subject.
      These demos do not apply to the curriculum, although they can be used to engender interest.
      The chemicals and pocesses are for people with experience. Teachers are not trained in these demos.
      Finally, nearly every school would not have the resources to do these demos and some are completely banned.
      Here in Australia the majority of science teachers would have zero knowledge of what has been demonstrated. I know, I work with them. These are demostrations for university people not children at school. These demonstrations requiire a lot of resources, knowledge, skills and an interested audience. Unfortunately this does not exist at your local school.

      Сколько себя помню-изучал,узнавал все сам,но я жил при ССССР,что они придумали?--Журналы-Наука и жизнь,Юный техник и т.д. они до сих пор сохранились и до сих пор я из них беру информацию,Так о чем я-эти ракеты особенно ЛУНОХОД придумали дети,это все их идеи,а авторство естественно присвоили,,,,,,,забрав мои идеи,они хвалят естественно себя,--раньше ПАРТИЯ-власть,мы мечтали о космосе,как покорить его,взлетев и изучать космос,вселенную а получается все да на оборот,все для военных целей,мира ни хотят,только воевать,раньше то интернета не было,узнавали правду ночью по радио,слушая голос Aмерики,и вот когда смотрю такие записи,то восхищаюсь теми людьми которые доносят знания,ИХ раньше называли жрецами,учителями,сынами божими,--не имеет значения как назывались,НО давали знания для познания,технологий,для процветания человечества,а ВЫ про цвели не как розы-цветы на клубне а как-розы в заднице-гиморой называется, не по тому пути пошли,вот в чем разница,мог бы очень много писать и объяснять,но нет смысла, мечтают войти в контакт с (пришельцами)высшим разумом,а для чего??узнать технологии?опять вопрос-для чего??уже миллионы лет идут воины-кто сильней??или кто умней?? познать космос ни когда не лети с идеей покорить его,оружие-только для защиты а не для завоевания его,космос это ты сам-не вреди себе-возлюби себя-мой дед всегда говорил-не вини зеркало,когда рыло косое-прошу-живите в мире-и мир откроется вам

      @RollinRat Excellent. This level of enthusiasm over cognitively enriching tasks does bring a smile on my face. It is these type of people that are the real MVPs of society. Unfortunately, the concentration of much society has is quite trivial and not exploratory. Keep up that enthusiasm. I hope it inspires children to imagine and be curious. We could have another legend of science. Honestly, I am more impressed by the amazing scientist who build rockets, handle Google's servers, build computers and cure diseases, than I am by the social media stars and celebrities of today.
      I do wish to comment that studying, depending on the person is actually the fun part. We need to encourage the kids to be patient and break stuff. Learning is a process. Too much of society is focused on the end goal and quick response. This inevitably makes students give up of learning something that is challenging. Science, Mathematics are all really hard. Not because that they are difficult per say, but that they require perspective, exploration and patience to understand. Teaching students this is essential, otherwise they will merely wish to be scientists for the aesthetic reasons and not for the reasons of exploration.
      Society tends to annoy me with its constant obsession of trivialities which will disappear into nothingness 1000 years from now. Therefore, to see people enthusiastic about exploring this universe does make me have hope we may focus on more interesting aspect of existence than just despair. Continue to explore and encourage these kids to continue to explore. Good luck.

It was so nice to see the excitement in the young faces as THEY experienced Rocket Science this way ! Chris Bishop - I am a FAN - THANKS !

It was such a success the adjoining elementary schools, other classes, and teachers came out to watch. Would then apply writing into the lesson. I later incorporated hot air balloons made from tissue. Our Junior High beat-up out our High School in attitude
