  • https://animals.howstuffworks.com/animal-facts/question629.htm — a webpage article that shares information about how fish are able to rise and sink in water. The article explains that the swim bladders of fish allow them to change buoyancy, similar to a helium balloon releases helium and being filled again.
  •  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-xNXrELCmU — a video demonstrating multiple examples of Bernoulli’s principle, in which increased fluid velocity produces lower pressure. Examples in the video include a ball staying balanced above a hairdryer, and two balloons coming towards each other when air is blown through the space between them.
  • http://www.astro.queensu.ca/~tjb/p107/lectures/F4L1.pdf — a powerpoint over the physics of scaling, primarily the ratio of strength vs. load.
  • http://nautil.us/blog/the-worlds-most-inspirational-iceberg-is-a-fake — another article, similar to the one shared in class, about the debunking of the famous photograph of an iceberg taken by Ralph Clevenger in 1999. Though the image is beautiful and portrays accurately the sight of an iceberg from above and below surface, it ultimately was debunked as scientists explained that the image would have been impossible to shoot raw as you are unable to see through water that great of a distance.
