After last year’s Science and Weather Day at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies outfielders asked me to give them more of a challenge for a warm-up before the game. Last year, pitcher Jeff Francis and I launched potatoes with tricked out potato launchers. We shot the potatoes into the outfield.

Our video and experiment library has grown to almost 400, with 70 new science videos added to our science video library just this year. Selecting our Top 10 Videos for the year was tough, but here are our personal favorites. Let us know what you think…
