Part III of NOVA’s Making Stuff. Class watches great episode on “Making Stuff Stronger.” There were truly some strange new discoveries like carbon nanotubes and goats that produced milk that had the protein for spider silk! Absent? Watch the video and take notes.
Watched the second in the “Making Stuff” series on NOVA. On Making Stuff Cleaner the emphasis was on biofuels, cleaner cars, and burning trash to make electricity. Great part about growing parts for cars from fungi and using vegetable oils (like soy) to make foam! Good mentions of closed systems (trash burning) and molecular structure of plastics (carbon chains and sheets). Absent? Watch the video online and take notes.
