If you haven't already explored the world of TED, I highly encourage you to do so.
What is TED?
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. They believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, they're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.TED is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?
In the TED talk below, AnnMarie Thomas exhibits how homemade play dough can be used to demonstrate electrical properties. WOW!
