1
I want to start off tonight with a two-step experiment.
2
For step one, I've got a two-liter bottle here.
3
It's half-filled with liquid nitrogen.
4
That's negative 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
5
As you can see, it's violently boiling off into a gas, just like boiling water does on a hot stove.
6
Because of this freezing cold liquid nitrogen, the nice comfy air in this room is super hot.
7
But here's the catch.
8
the gas form of nitrogen occupies 700 times the volume of the liquid.
9
So you've got to be really careful as it's turning into a gas.
10
You don't trap it in a small container like if the lid was screwed on top here.
11
So then for step two, I'm going to go ahead and screw the lid on top.
12
And when I do, if everything goes according to plan, the contents of this bottle should experience what we refer to at NASA as an energetic, spontaneous, rapid disassembly.
13
It's going to explode.
14
Alright, here we go.
15
Put that on.
16
Okay.
17
Now this is going to be...
18
Oh, you know what?
19
What the heck?
20
Might as well throw these on top.
21
This is going to be real boring until it's not.
22
If you don't like loud noises, cover yours.
23
But according to my calculations, things could get real interesting here in about three, two, one.
24
One.
25
One.
26
I said one.
27
I'm just kidding.
28
It's really impossible to actually calculate exactly.
29
Whoa!
30
Let's go!
31
How's your jet lag now?
32
All right.
33
My apologies to my friends in the front row.
34
You should be warned, it will get worse before it gets better.
35
I'm like Science Gallagher up here.
36
So a lot of people look at that.
37
Thank you, yeah.
38
You keep those as souvenirs, actually.
39
Please don't throw them back the whole time.
40
A lot of people look at that and be like, oh, neat.
41
The ping pong balls exploded.
42
But what actually happened is so much cooler, because as more and more of that nitrogen turned into a gas, those gas molecules got more and more crowded as they pushed back
43
on the plastic molecules comprising the walls of the two-liter bottle.
44
And then eventually, the pressure got so great, it got so crowded, the walls of the two-liter bottle lost the game of molecular Red Rover,
45
and all the gas came rushing out.
46
But where could it go?
47
Because it can't go down or to the sides.
48
Trash can's too thick.
49
Therefore, the only option is to go up, and since all the ping-pong balls are in the way, they just happen to go along for the ride.
50
But here's the really cool part.
51
This is exactly how cannons fire cannonballs.
52
It's how Nerf blasters fire Nerf darts.
53
It's how T-shirt cannons fire T-shirts.
54
And for my friends in the front row, it's how straws fire spitwads.
55
Just kidding.
56
The trick for all those is you simply build up enough pressure, you suddenly release it in one direction, and plop whatever you want in the way to go along for the ride.
57
And I love when I get that aha moment, when I understand the world around me with a new framework.
58
But even more than that, I love giving that to other people.
59
This is why, for the last 15 years, once a month, I've uploaded a free science or engineering video to YouTube to my now 75 million subscribers,
60
who also have a taste for those aha moments.
61
And the videos...
62
Thank you.
63
The videos can range anywhere from an elephant toothpaste volcano that sets a world record, to a satellite that's orbiting above us right now that we built,
64
that you can upload your picture to for free, and then it will display it on a screen, and then give you a selfie in space with the Earth photobombing you.
65
Or even a soccer goalie moves back and forth at 40 miles an hour, and then we track your shot so effectively, not even the world's greatest player,
66
whoo, can score on it.
67
Sorry, Ronaldo.
68
And 16 billion views later, What I've learned is I can't teach you if I don't have your attention.
69
But if I can get your attention with something remarkable, well, now I suddenly have something to attach the learning to.
70
This is why it kills me if someone's like, oh, I don't like science, because it's boring.
71
But at the same time, I get it, because instead of learning about pressure the way I did with these ping pong balls, a lot of times it's done like this,
72
with curiosity-murdering phrases, Like, consider a rigid container of volume V.
73
It's a frickin' trash can, all right?
74
And don't get me wrong.
75
Like, there is a time and a place for equations.
76
For a generation that has grown up on TikTok and YouTube, you have to make it matter with something that gets them to lean forward in their seat.
77
Something that ignites a little curiosity fire in their brain.
78
And we need that today more than ever.
79
I like to call this style of teaching hiding the vegetables.
80
For example, it's really boring if you make a video about the scientific method, but what's not boring is if you make a video about a 15-ton Jell-O pool you can actually bellow flop onto.
81
And in the process, I'm going to sneak in all six steps of the scientific method.
82
What's also really boring is memorizing an equation about terminal velocity, but what's not boring is you point out
83
that squirrels are one of the only mammals that can survive a fall from any height at their terminal velocity.
84
And then in an effort to keep them from stealing all your bird seed, you set up an eight-part Ninja Warrior obstacle course in your backyard.
85
And in the process, what you might find is they will voluntarily demonstrate this principle for you.
86
It's a very true story.
87
There's also a ton of super boring microcontroller tutorial videos online.
88
So when someone came by and stole a package from my porch, I decided to dedicate a year of my life to making the world's least boring microcontroller tutorial video.
89
Step one, you make a bait package like this, and on the outside, you have something like a picture of headphones.
90
But inside, instead of headphones, you have this contraption.
91
And at the top there, there's a cup that spins a pound of the world's finest glitter.
92
You have four phones that will record, then upload their footage to the cloud real time, and it's the piece de resistance, a very uncharitable amount of fart spray.
93
That's foreshadowing.
94
And then step two, you have the thief come by, and he lifts the lid, takes it home.
95
Of course, it sprays the glitter, followed by the fart spray.
96
I should point out, by the way, this whole video was sort of a modern-day homage to the greatest film of a generation.
97
I'm talking, of course, about Home Alone.
98
And so the thief here, who's pretending, is none other than my buddy Macaulay Culkin.
99
And so then for step three, what you and Macaulay are going to do is you're going to make 20 of these, you're going to put them on porches all across America,
100
And it won't take long before you start getting back some incredible footage like this.
101
Hello.
102
Keep the change, you filthy animal.
103
Whoa!
104
Hello.
105
You guys give up?
106
Oh yeah.
107
I'm thirsty for more.
108
Operation, whoever snucked it, dealt it.
109
Initiated.
110
F***.
111
Operation Butt Trumpet, initiated.
112
Oh!
113
Alright, alright, alright, we f***ing get it.
114
Yeah.
115
By the way, I was watching, and when that thief was about to lift the lid on the glitter bomb, not a single one of you was looking down or was on your phones.
116
I had your undivided attention, and that makes for the most fertile brain soil, because learning is best when it's attached to a visceral experience.
117
Basically, if you feel something here, you remember it here.
118
This is why memorizing a boring equation is hard, but remembering that song you sang as a teenager that made you feel all those feels, that's easy.
119
And you remember every single lyric 30 years later.
120
And to be fair, I didn't come up with this style of teaching.
121
All great teachers know this.
122
For me, it was Mr. Malloy.
123
He was my high school statistics teacher.
124
Hello, Mr. Malloy, if you're watching this.
125
And he was great not just because he had a killer Dr. Evil impression, or because, and I mean this with all sincerity,
126
he had way better hair than whatever I was trying to figure out here.
127
He was great because he made it matter, like encouraging us to use what we learn in statistics to
128
predict where our arch-rival soccer team was going to kick their penalty kicks.
129
And it worked!
130
He was so good at attaching emotions to learning.
131
He was so good at hiding the vegetables.
132
And the thing is, with a really good teacher, their impact is immeasurable, just like Mr. Mulloy impacted his students, and we're in now, in turn, impacting the world.
133
That's why I love teachers.
134
I think they have the most important job on the planet.
135
In fact, please.
136
I've said for like a decade, my dream job is to be a middle school science teacher, and I will be.
137
But until that time, and buckle up, because this is the first time the world is hearing about this, but for the last two and a half years,
138
myself, with a team of about 50 people, including some of the best science teachers in the country, we've been secretly working on a full science curriculum,
139
and it uses all the tricks I've learned for the past 15 years on how to hide the vegetables.
140
And the reason we're doing this is because it breaks my heart
141
when I see teachers who get paid salaries as a society
142
we should be ashamed of spending their own money on resources that totally suck.
143
So it's got everything they need, from banger videos the kids are going to beg to rewatch that demonstrate the science, yes, that is a wrench and an MRI machine,
144
because how else am I supposed to talk about the invisible magnetic fields all around us?
145
It's got ready-to-teach classroom slide decks that are super clean and easy to use.
146
And then it's got these really thought-out, curated science demos where the kids get to viscerally interact with the science
147
that the teachers can make just with stuff they have lying around their classroom.
148
And so the idea is that together we teach the classroom, and the teacher becomes the hero as we engage the students in real science and engineering they actually care about.
149
We're starting with grades three through eight.
150
It exceeds all the state science standards, but most importantly, it's exactly what science class is meant to be.
151
Super freaking fun.
152
Your teacher and I are about to launch this class into hyperdrive.
153
Let's go!
154
Whoa!
155
We'll build stuff, ask a ton of questions, and even smash a few things along the way.
156
If everything goes according to plan, we'll see the world around you in an entirely new way.
157
Right.
158
Oh my God, that's crazy.
159
Buckle up.
160
It's gonna be a wild ride.
161
It's basically magic.
162
Science which makes it cooler than magic What do you guys want to do now
163
The world has evolved and teaching science is long overdue for disruption I'm happy to report
164
that of the teachers who are assigned to teach the pilot lessons to their students
165
because of our ability to explain complicated things simply, and for our very unique experience in solving the science motivation gap for 15 years,
166
95% of the teachers said when we're done, they would want this to be their full science curriculum.
167
And so the idea is you combine incredible teachers with incredible resources to get this explosive output, sort of like you'd expect to see if you combine this bucket of boiling water
168
with this trash can of freezing cold liquid nitrogen.
169
So to all those teachers out there in the trenches, I want you to know reinforcements are on the way.
170
In fact, a bunch of the videos and lessons are already available right now
171
and we'll finish the rest over the next four years
172
because I know this will be the most important thing I do my whole life.
173
And even though this is going to cost us $60 million to make, my official declaration tonight is every single lesson plan,
174
every teacher training, every original class demo will cost exactly zero dollars and be 100% free for all teachers forever
175
as we work to ignite those brainfires of curiosity in the next generation of big problem solvers.
176
Thank you so much.
177
Thank you.
178
Thank you.
179
Thank you.

Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Video "Thí nghiệm khoa học 60 triệu đô la của Mark Rober" không chỉ đơn thuần là một bài thuyết trình về khoa học mà còn là cơ hội tuyệt vời để bạn luyện nói tiếng Anh. Nội dung sôi động và đầy bất ngờ của video sẽ giúp bạn duy trì sự chú ý, đồng thời khơi dậy niềm đam mê học hỏi. Khi bạn tham gia luyện tập shadowing tiếng anh, bạn không chỉ cải thiện phát âm mà còn làm quen với ngữ điệu và cách diễn đạt tự nhiên của người bản ngữ. Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng, vì tiếng Anh sống động và phong phú như những gì được trình bày trong video.
Cấu trúc ngữ pháp & biểu hiện trong ngữ cảnh
Trong video, Mark Rober sử dụng một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp và biểu hiện thú vị mà người học có thể áp dụng:
- “if everything goes according to plan”: Câu điều kiện loại 1, cho thấy sự phụ thuộc giữa điều kiện và kết quả.
- “I said one. I’m just kidding”: Sự kết hợp hài hước trong giao tiếp, thể hiện sự thoải mái và tự nhiên trong cách nói.
- “the contents of this bottle should experience”: Động từ "should" thể hiện sự dự đoán, rất hữu ích trong việc diễn tả ý kiến hoặc suy nghĩ.
- “things could get real interesting”: Câu này thể hiện sự mong đợi, rất phù hợp cho việc mô tả những tình huống bất ngờ.
Khi áp dụng các cấu trúc này vào thực tế, bạn có thể tạo ra các câu nói tự nhiên hơn trong giao tiếp hàng ngày.
Các cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Các từ ngữ và cụm từ trong video có thể gây khó khăn cho người học. Một số cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến bao gồm:
- “explosion”: Âm tiết nhấn mạnh ở "plo", có thể khó cho những người mới học.
- “energetic”: Phát âm của âm "g" và "e" có thể bị nhầm lẫn, hãy chú ý khi nói.
- “molecular”: Phát âm này cần sự chính xác để tránh nhầm lẫn với từ ngữ khác.
Khi luyện tập với video, bạn có thể sử dụng phần mềm shadowing để cải thiện kỹ năng phát âm. Việc lặp lại theo tốc độ của người nói giúp bạn phát triển kỹ năng nói một cách trôi chảy hơn.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
