I thought that this was an interesting idea. Basically, Alan Alda started a competition of some sorts for people to explain what fire is to eleven year olds.
The basis for starting this is that, when he was eleven, he was interested in fire, asked his science teacher what it was, and all that she said was, "it's oxidation." Clearly, to an eleven year old, that isn't going to take him very far.
Lots of people submitted to it, and as of now it's down to the top six finalists (they were all judged by a panel of 6,000 eleven year olds...)
Here's the link to the website if you guys want to check it out: http://www.flamechallenge.org/
Some of the videos are interesting to watch, and one guy even implemented a song into the end of it.
