Dear Ms. Xiangjun Shi,

Your frisky video penguin physics lesson was exhilaratingly utterly charming as well as being highly informative. I do hope that it does well in the competition.

With my regards,

Dear Ms. Xiangjun Shi,

I really liked how you blended physics with animation in a very simple, yet compelling way. The method was easy for a novice to understand, and complex enough to foster interest from a more advanced audience. I gave your team 4.5 stars, because I enjoyed what you did and gained a better understanding of the information presented.

It's been challenging to get others in the community to check out my video. I hope that you might take a look at it and rate it. It's "The Escape - Physics and Fairytale" Our aim, too is to stimulate interest for a lay person in physics. My team & I utilized an identifiable character in children's literature (Cinderella) who uses physics to plan her quick escape. While showing the functionality of physics (although for a fictional character) we felt this would help create an interest in others for the field of physics.

I felt you did a good job at this.
