ThinkAbout
Hello Physics Forums:

I wanted to share a new science-education video series called 'Think About'. We just completed the first eight mini-episodes. 'Think About' airs on American Forces Network (AFN) and the audience is pretty special: kids that are overseas with their military parents. The videos are also available, at no cost, to educational organizations, public broadcasting, etc.

In any case, we'd love to have some feedback and also suggestions for future episodes.

A few samples are below and you can see all eight episodes on YouTube here:
