Investigate the following...

1. 360° Rainbow. What’s better than a double rainbow? A full-circle rainbow, as shot from way up high on a construction crane.

2. Chess Calories. So, how many calories does a chess grandmaster burn during a tournament? Enough that the 1984 championships were called off after the defending champion lost 22 pounds over 48 games!

3. Apollo 11 Marching Band. Marching bands are an under-appreciated art form. Check out Ohio State’s tribute to the Apollo 11 mission. Don’t miss those awesome smoke effects around 2:45!

4. Cell Division Paper Art. Rogan Brown makes paper art up to 3 feet wide, showing how cells divide.

5. Industrial Cupcake Machines. Measuring, baking, and decorating cupcakes on a large scale with industrial machinery! A very satisfying experience.
