5 Crazy Science Stunts, You Won’t See At School

“The King of Random” Grant Thompson is back with his fondness for explosive and otherwise dangerous science experiments.

Insane experiments you probably won’t be learning in school.

WARNING: This video is for demonstrational and educational purposes only. Each demonstration poses risks and hazards that must be fully understood before attempting, and should only be attempted by professionals. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project inspired by: Alltime10s. They asked if I could make a video demonstrating crazy science, in a collaboration effort with their channel. Special thanks to inspiration from SteveSpanglerScience for the idea on the exploding Pumpkins: (http://bit.ly/IBExplodingPumpkins), and Fysikshow for the idea of Liquid nitrogen bottle rockets! (http://bit.ly/IBNitrogenRocket) If you check out their videos, please leave them a comment that you came from Grant Thompson’s channel and that I gave them credit for the idea :) Thank you!

The Amount Of Snow It Takes To Cancel School

How much snow does it take to cancel schools?

The Amount of Snow It Takes to Cancel School

Data was taken from hundreds of various points from user responses on Reddit and interpolated using NOAA’s average annual snowfall days map. Any corrections/additions are welcome, just give a decently specific location.

The lightest green says “any snow” but also includes merely the prediction of snow. Also, this is snow accumulation over 24 hours/overnight.

In much of the Midwest and Great Plains, school closing often depends more on wind chill and temperature than on snow accumulation (“cold days”). Thus, this map may be misleading in those areas.

Many jurisdictions in California and other western states have significantly varied snowfall, depending on elevation. This makes it difficult to find an “average” number, or often makes it misleading.

Urban areas like Chicago and New York have more resources to clear snow and often need more to cause closings.

To everyone saying “I grew up in so-and-so and we never closed school,” policies have changed in the last 20 years to make closing a much more common occurrence. Just because schools stayed open back then doesn’t mean they do these days.

Hawaii does get snow! Just… not where people live

Joke Of The Day: The Field Trip

Rubber Chicken A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack (Churchill Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses and the supporting industry (Bourbon) but mostly to see the horses.

When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men’s room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal.

Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, holding on to their ‘wee-wees’ to direct the flow away from their clothes.

As she lifted one, she couldn’t help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring the teacher said, ‘You must be in the 5th grade.’

‘No, ma’am’, he replied. ‘I’m riding Silver Arrow in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help.’
