All the videos have proper closed captions. None have eye contact. Each is well under ten minutes.

The moon is in the sky for everyone to look at; it seems like very few people do.

Is the Earth/Moon a dual planet system?

An argument that, according to the International Astronomical Union's criteria that disqualified Pluto as a planet, our Moon should be reclassified as a planet:

Why Do Compressed Air Cans Get Cold? | minutephysics

This video is about compressed air cans (aka gas dusters) and why they get cold when you spray them. They cool off because the refrigerant inside (1,1-difluoroethane) is under pressure and boils off when the pressure lowers, and energy lost to the latent heat of vaporization cools the can a lot.

1) What’s your favorite book/series? Sapiens - Yuval Harari. Very concise overview of the world we live in and how humans play their part in it :) 

2) Do you have any unused/empty journals/notebooks? Ummm probably close to 20 (-.-’’)

3) Out of all the sciences (natural, social, and formal), which science do you feel is the most important for the general public? I mean the specific ones, (i.e. biology, statistics, anthropology, etc. but you’re not limited to these options) That's very hard to say, all sciences are important to the public because it is the public who benefits from their advancements. Traditionally difficult sceinces like physics and chemistry are still as important, however possibly not as accessible. I really don’t know!

4) Do you have any unique study methods you use? If not, what are ones you swear by? I dont think I have any unique methods, just dont fall behind. GO TO CLASS. Mindmaps and key points are a good way to summarise the important information.

5) Do you like watching documentaries? If so, which kind? Nature documentaries. I mainly watch youtube channels such as CGPgrey,  SciShow, CrashCourse, minutephysics/minuteearth, kurzgesagt if I want to learn anything.

6) Are there any classes/subjects you’d like to learn? I wish I took French, creative writing classes, classics and European History.

7) Do you like dancing? Too look like an idiot? yes. 

8) What’s your favorite piece of stationery? (i.e. pens, binders, flashcards, etc.) My fineliners and gel pens :3

9) What do you think of math? Is it useful to you or are you just bored by it? Statistics is very useful for my biology courses, maths is boring to me because I do not have a good knowledge of it but I do respect how important it is for life.

10) Do you plan on returning to your high school/college after a number of years? To say hello? Or to teach? I would hate to teach, but I might go back to visit my art teacher.

11) What’s the story behind your username? I am a science student who loves to sleeeeep!
