What if your screen could explain itself?

It draws it out for you: how much a cloud weighs, worked out on the board.

Inside the film

What it shows

How much does a cloud weigh? It looks like nothing, but the film works it out on a black board: a cloud about a kilometre on each side holds a billion cubic metres of air, with about half a gram of water in each one. That comes to roughly 500,000 kg. The board draws the cube, the numbers and the answer as it explains them.

  3. Watch it explain on your screen or on the blackboard, then answer its question back.
