1
The Lighthouse Lab I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the middle.
2
Thank you.
3
Oh, hey there.
4
If you've ever taken a bath before, you'll have noticed that some things Like this rubber duck, Stay on top of the water.
5
They float.
6
Other things, like this bath plug, sink to the bottom of the bath.
7
They sink in water. So what causes this?
8
Well, the simple answer has to do with density.
9
Density is the amount of mass an object has in a given volume.
10
The more mass an object has in a given volume, the more dense it is.
11
Objects that are more dense than water will sink to the bottom.
12
But objects that are less dense than water will float on the top.
13
Our rubber duckies volume is mostly made up of air which is less dense than water.
14
That's why it floats on top.
15
Take a look at these objects.
16
Let's make predictions about which ones will float or sink when placed in this bath of water.

Thank you.

I think it might sink.
21
What do you think?
22
Yep.
23
It's definitely more dense than water.
24
Thank you.
25
What about this metal coin?
26
Metal is pretty heavy.
27
I think this is definitely going to sink in water.
28
Yep.
29
Definitely more dense than water.
30
This polystyrene ball is very light.
31
I think this is definitely less dense than the water.
32

33
Yep.
34
It floats.
35
What about this ping pong ball?

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
