See some more Videos (just a few) Water finds its own level - most of the time! But in this outing to the Scarborough Town Centre, we create a truly bizarre phenomenon in which water will not flow through a very large opening, even though there is a large column of water piled above it. Pipes are very effective devices for creating resonant waves. Heck, many of the most common musical instruments - from trombones to flutes to pipe organs - depend on this phenomenon. So how exactly does the big propane torch fit into this?
We challenged Ryerson University engineering students to design and build capsules for a very specific purpose: to safely carry and return to a cargo of one large pumpkin, launched skyward by the monster trebuchet at Whittamore's Farm, just nortn of Toronto! The result - pumpkins flying everywhere, plus one flying pig.
If you like your fruit and veggies, then you'll love PumpkinFest in Port Elgin, Ontario, where the giants from the garden gather!
It's All-Canadian Wonders of the World on this scientific sojourn. Join Alan as he takes a journey of discovery from Ontario to the Prairies! Water is the common thread, from Niagara Falls to Little Manitou Lake to the steam engine. Okay, so the water theme falls apart at the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon, but it's a really cool facility, so we'll let it pass. Come explore!
If you've ever visited Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, you can't miss its overarching theme of showy excess, what with all the wax museums, haunted houses, wrestling attractions, and so on. But it's a great place to spend a summer afternoon, losing yourself in the fun and jollification.
Is there any better way to spend an idyllic summer afternoon in Toronto's Kew Gardens than dissolving pennies in acid? If there is, I haven't heard about it!
