Science – Analyzing Angry Birds

[like]

This is a screen capture video from the game Angry Birds, which almost everyone has played, seen, or at least heard of.

In this video, one of the blue birds turns into three birds after being launched into the air. A science teacher might ask their students if there is anything that seems wrong about this happening, leading to a discussion about the conservation of mass, energy, or momentum.

Would the use of this video be motivating for students? Effective as a teaching tool? There are more videos and more teaching ideas for using them on the Angry Birds link.
