You can mix 10 marbles until they sort themselves. Why not 100?

This Monday's post was a little light on the science, so I thought I'd add in a heavily-sciencey video to make up for it.

The concept of entropy is a big, dang deal, but it's often reduced - at a high school level, at least - to being defined as 'disorder' or 'randomness'. I try to explain to my students a slight bit of the subtlety, but I'm not entirely sure how much sinks in for them.

Thankfully, AlphaPohenix has a video explaining entropy really well.
