Conveniently built in two old suitcases, Melvin the Mini Machine is a Rube Goldberg machine specifically designed to travel the world. Each time Melvin fully completes a run, he ‘signs’ a postcard and sticks a stamp to it - making it ready to be sent. Like its bigger brother, Melvin the Mini Machine also has an online non-physical side which he uses to connect to the people he meets. To keep things truly mobile Melvin uses a smartphone for his online identity.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:55:47 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2991/writing-prompts/melvin-the-mini-machine  A day in Venice (Venezia) in Italy, from daybreak to sunset in timelapse.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:51:51 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2990/places/venice-in-a-day  It's a phonics song with a picture for each letter.

A mousetrap is a stellar example of converting potential energy to kinetic energy. The spring of the mousetrap is held back with a bunch of potential energy and, once released, snaps forward in a burst of kinetic energy. What if you could harness the release of energy to power a car? We'll show you how with the Mousetraps in Motion experiment.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:46:46 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2984/forces--motion--physics/mousetraps-in-motion  Geraldine the giraffe learns the h letter shape and sound.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:45:58 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2983/reading-and-phonics/geraldine-the-giraffe-learns-h  Geraldine the giraffe learns the p letter shape and sound.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:45:27 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2982/reading-and-phonics/geraldine-the-giraffe-learns-p  Legendary expert in the evolution of early man, Richard Leakey, introduces a 15 year old from 1.5 million years ago.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:43:19 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2981/history/want-to-meet-your-ancestors  Geraldine the giraffe learns the p letter shape and sound.]]> Fri, 11 May 2012 09:42:26 GMT http://www.teachingvideos.co.uk/index.php/videos/viewvideo/2980/reading-and-phonics/geraldine-the-giraffe-learns-p-with-alternative-ending  You might be surprised to find out exactly what you're drinking when you enjoy your favorite soda.
