Minute physics: ‘cool physics and other sweet science’

Is it better to walk or run in the rain?

A very cool youtube channel with over 400 million views!

There are tons of fascinating videos answering all the questions that kids (and grown-ups!) tend to ask, including: Why are stars star-shaped?, Why is the sky blue?, and How do rainbows work? (The last two are explained in just ten seconds each — an impressive feat!)

If you like these videos, check out the sister channel Minute Earth.

As always, I recommend checking out all videos before watching them with your kids. I also recommend enabling YouTube’s Safety Mode

Where did Earth’s water come from?

MinuteEarth is a spin-off channel created by Henry Reich of MinutePhysics fame and others. It covers the physics, chemistry and biology of our planet, including a great explanation of why rivers meander, how trees survive winter and what skin is for.

The short videos include animations, images and movie clips, as well as excellent narration.

If you like Minute Earth check out the sister channel Minute Physics.
