Do Try This At Home Scientific experiments do not need to happen in fancy laboratories. Exploring science can happen at home using inexpensive supplies. Oobleck Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid that behaves unlike other fluids. For this experiment, you will need: 1 part water 2 parts cornstarch Drops of food coloring (there are a few options with this) Combine ingredients and stir. Oobleck is nontoxic, but does get messy. Precipitation in a Jar: Exploring precipitation at home is quite easy. 200 ml (1 cup) Hot, but not boiling, water Tall glass jar Glass plate Ice cubes Pour the hot water into the clear glass jar and immediately cover with the plate. DNA Extraction DNA can be extracted and examined quite easily. To begin, you will need to choose the source of DNA. Add the plant material, salt, and water to the blender. Unpoppable bubbles Industrial strength bubbles that resist popping are easy to make. Slowly stir the ingredients together in the bowl, as to not form bubbles. Glow in the Dark Bubbles
The Truth About Turnout Correct turnout. Photo by Eduardo Patino. Turnout—a combination of rotational flexibility and the strength to properly hold that rotation—is the foundation of ballet. But it’s also a source of frustration for many dancers. After all, not everyone (actually, hardly anyone) is born with 180-degree rotation. The good news is that it’s possible to both improve your turnout and to dance beautifully with less-than-perfect rotation. Myth #1 If your feet are turned out 180 degrees, that means you’re using your turnout. To maximize flexibility in the hips, most dancers need to begin training early, while their bones are still growing. But all the flexibility in the world will mean nothing if you don’t have the strength to control it. Myth #2 Walking turned out in your day-to-day life will improve your turnout. Myth #3 If you want to avoid injury, don’t push your turnout. Just remember that pushing your turnout isn’t the same as forcing it. Kneel and place a pillow under your left knee. Comments
How To Fathom Pi: Amazing Visual Illustrations Distribution of the first 123,201 digits of π mapped onto a red-yellow-blue Brewer palette and placed as circles on an Archimedean spiral by Martin Krzywinski Pi is, quite possibly, the most famous number known to man.* This fact is a little bit ironic, as we don’t actually have a number for pi. Well, not a complete number anyways, because pi never ends. If you try to pin it down to the decimal, you can’t do it—the decimal representation goes on endlessly, and it never settles into a repeating patters. Hence, all the fame. If you are unfamiliar with this number, pi is the mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and it is typically written as 3.14159 . However, (despite some minor set backs) the quest to understand pi continues. Recently, Cristian Ilies Vasile created an amazing way to visualize pi. This visual representation was created by a 41 year old individual who suffered brain damage after being attacked by muggers.
Pointe magazine – Ballet at its Best. Ballet naturally creates strong legs. Arms, however, are another story. Many dancers are relatively weak in their upper bodies. They struggle with messy, floppy or stiff port de bras—or the dreaded “chicken wings.” The good news? Targeted cross-training exercises can build strength in your upper body without adding bulk, and open your chest, upper back and sides. As your arm reaches around, extend through the upper back and twist your trunk. Many dancers have loose shoulder joints but tight chests, creating dangerous joint imbalances that leave them susceptible to injury. Resistance On-The-GoThera-Bands are many dancers’ go-to, portable resistance tools. To strengthen the second position port de bras, Green has dancers wrap a semi-light band behind their back and hold the ends. Practiced regularly, these exercises will awaken integral stabilizing muscles and help you eliminate noodley, weak arms. A Smarter Flip-FlopSandal season is nearly here.
