You are Your Words

Great website shared on Twitter today:
You Are Your Words
http://www.youareyourwords.com/

Description from the website:  The American Heritage Dictionary invites you to create a self-portrait using your words.
The words that tell the world who you are. That make you, you. It's easy to do.  Create a unique image that can be shared and saved and will remind everyone that You Are Your Words.

It is a busy site, so I would recommend write words before going to the site then cutting and pasting.  (They need a minimum of 400 characters.) 
The image can be uploaded or can be taken on the webcam. Then the final image can be downloaded.

The Spangler Effect - Cool Science Experiments


http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/the-spangler-effect.html

About the Show

He's the science teacher you always wanted to have in school. Things just happen to fizz, pop, smoke and explode, and before you know it, you're a part of his learning experience. His passion is to find the most creative ways to make learning fun. His methods might be unconventional, but the goal is to turn ordinary science experiments into unforgettable learning experiences. And when it happens, it's called The Spangler Effect.
It's a series about a group of people who are passionate about finding cool ways to make science fun. They turn ordinary do-it-yourself science activities into extreme experiences that spread like a virus, make noise (literally) with crazy science challenges, produce "no way!" revelations and the occasional explosion, and help parents and educators find creative ways to get kids excited about learning.
Make it big, do it right, give it class - that's The Spangler Effect.
