5 Hilariously Fascinating Science Videos From Derek Muller. Before I go any further in this article, I have got to confess that I have just come off a four hour Derek Muller bender. After stumbling across one video on “Koala Encounters”, I watched another on “Atomic Theory” and have just kept on going. Four hours of science videos later, I am wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes and have probably increased my scientific knowledge tenfold. With an engaging balance of education and fun, Derek Muller is the Australian born, Canadian grown, director and star of the science video blog, Veritasium.

Having studied Engineering Physics at Queen’s University in Canada and gaining a PhD in Physics Education Research at the University of Sydney, Derek is the perfect teacher when it comes to making physics fun.

While most people know that nuclear science is involved in power production and defense, it is also part of agriculture, space exploration, and medicine.

Nuclear science—with all its complexities—egins simply enough with the atom. Encourage your students to become well-rounded and informed on both the positive and negative aspects of nuclear science as they learn more about this building block and how manipulating its nucleus lends itself to a wide variety of scientific endeavors.
