Area Model of Partial Products

Elementary math teachers know the importance of this model in teaching the concept of applying distributive property in area model.
The idea is to break one large area (which represents the product of two numbers) into several pieces (products of smaller numbers), then to find the areas of the pieces individually, and finally add to get the area of the whole (the product of the given numbers).

    Charging by Induction Simulation

    Using this simulation, you can experience the phenomenon of charging a metallic ball by induction in the first stage and charging the ball by contact in the second stage after the charged rod touches the ball. The displayed charges are for an illustrational purpose, and they are not seen in reality. You can disable the display of charges on the rod and on the ball.
    In this simulation, you can try two situations, one in which the rod is positively charged and another in which the rod is negatively charged, and you will see that the two situations result in the same observation.

    تجربة السقوط الحر

    توضح هذه التجربة أنه عند انعدام مقاومة الهواء، يصل جسمان يسقطان بحرية من نفس الارتفاع إلى الأرض في نفس اللحظة. يكتسب كلا الجسمين نفس السرعة أثناء السقوط، مما يثبت أنهما يختبران نفس التسارع – تسارع السقوط الحر. تشرح التجربة سبب رؤيتنا للأجسام الثقيلة تسقط أسرع من الأجسام الخفيفة بسبب تأثيرات مقاومة الهواء.

    Newton’s third law

    Newton’s third law demonstrates that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This video uses a Jackie Chan movie scene to illustrate the principle: when Jackie pushes his partner (action force), he experiences an equal push back (reaction force), allowing both to escape danger. A creative real-world example of action-reaction force pairs.

  • Don’t do it, train your own AI to do it!

    If this future becomes reality, there will be a massive wave of job displacement as AI takes over across various industries and job markets. But a wide horizon of opportunities will rise. Instead of a position of making decisions in a company, there will be a position of training the AI to make that decision and to maintain its logic.
    As a bizarre example, companies might not need IT (Information Technology) officers anymore! Instead, they might employ AIT (Artificial Intelligence Technology) officers, whose main responsibility is training and maintaining the company’s AI model to solve the company’s technical issues!

    قانون نيوتن الثالث

    يوضح قانون نيوتن الثالث أن لكل فعل رد فعل مساوٍ له في المقدار ومعاكس له في الاتجاه. يستخدم هذا الفيديو مشهداً من فيلم جاكي تشان لتوضيح المبدأ: عندما يدفع جاكي شريكه (قوة الفعل)، يختبر دفعة مساوية إلى الخلف (قوة رد الفعل)، مما يسمح لكليهما بالهروب من الخطر. مثال إبداعي من الحياة الواقعية على أزواج قوى الفعل ورد الفعل.
