Riding the Waves

The youtube video offers a cartoon visual when discussing the tides that exists on our planet. The video goes into detail about why the oval shapes around our world. It also talked about high tides and low tides. The video discusses gravitational force and how it affects us. The video briefly touches on the distance squared rule when he uses a water hose as an example. This is the most commonly forgotten rule when applied to the gravitational force equation. I liked this video a lot since it also discusses certain scenarios such as the earth being too close to the sun.

  1. That's a really good resource! I feel like everyone finds it more useful to use a video instead of a website. It can really help to see a visual. Cartoons especially help because they add a certain amount of entertainment. It especially helps to find short videos that keep your attention for the full amount of time and are still useful. My question for you is do you find it more useful to see a visual when learning something in class or is it more helpful to have someone talk through it?
