Video #4 - Hexaflexagons

The maker of this video is Vi Hart, and she's pretty much my math hero. Watch this video on hexaflexagons, be AMAZED, and then go try to make one yourself!

Video #5 - Ball Pit Friends

This is one of my favorite videos right now. Such a simple idea, and yet, who would ever think to do this? Would you sit in the ball pit and make friends with a stranger?

Video #6 - 3D Pen Lets You Write in the Air

Holy cow! This is crazy! I had heard of 3D printing before, but to be able to WRITE and DRAW in 3D. That's NUTS! What do you guys think? What would you draw?

Feel free to respond to this amazing spoken word poem.

The Beatles - Hey Jude

Remember last week when I told you that music was poetry? It was no joke! This week I want you to choose a video to watch and study the lyrics of. You get to pick the video - this is not categorized by hour! After you watch the video, I want you to talk about what you think the song means in the comments section. You can respond to what other people have said or ask them questions about their responses.

Something to keep in mind - when you say what you THINK the song means, you need to be able to back it up with evidence. So in addition to saying what you think the meaning is, you also have to tell me why you think that. Have fun!

This one is just for today. :) Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall
