Dear students,

If you are interested in finding out more about air pressure, check out this Video Experiment on Lead Portal!

1. Log into Lead Portal
2. At the navigation bar: My Subjects > Physics > Live Physics
3. Under Topic Listing: Pressure > Bubble in a Bottle
4. Watch the "Video Discussion" and see the "Explanation"

The explanation in today's lesson "Passing through Ice" includes some very interesting information on chocolates. If you're interested in the formation of the several crystal forms of chocolate, here's an interesting article for you - "Chocolate - The Noblest Polymorphism": Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3.

So the next time you eat some chocolate, don't forget there's a lot of science behind this sweet and satisfying substance that melts slowly in your mouth. Have fun!
