🎧 Ever notice how a plane sounds higher-pitched as it approaches, and lower as it moves away?
That’s the Doppler effect in action.
- Sound waves compress as the object moves closer
- They stretch as it moves away
- Your ears pick up this change in pitch

Summer fun just met fluid dynamics.
Researchers studied what creates the biggest pool splash 💦
Surface tension, impact speed, and entry angle all matter.
Yes, cannonballs are now peer-reviewed.

How to get the biggest splash at the pool using science
Move over belly flops and cannonballs. Manu jumps, pioneered by New Zealand’s Māori and Pasifika communities, reign supreme.
