are you telling me I have to write something pithy here that explains I teach physics and am a dad?

Brilliant; I had (incorrectly) assumed that any wire resistance would be negligible compared to the bulb - but I needed to compare to the other wires. @PhETsims never lets you down. I am surprised by the extent of the speed difference... but I do believe it!

So, I think I've either broken @PhETsims amazing Circuit Construction Kit or there is something else I don't understand about electrical currents. I'm worried by the different current flows in the parallel wires...

Don’t forget this Easter to teach your children about important ideas in physics, like the greenhouse effect. Sadly, this example was my egg. Poor Omble. @marksandspencer

Only just seen this CYMATICS video. I love it. Thanks, Lucy! youtube.com/watch?v=Q3oItpVa… (but I've always been a big fan of OK Go for science+music) youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7…

I'm loving this whole series, thank you so much for sharing Brian. I was thinking that the opposite ends of the slider would be something like this...

We made it, and it was brilliant, thank you Mandy. “Look at you with your fancy-pants names.” We were all correct in our suspicions about the crime egg thief, because the same thing happens in this house. X
