In science, half the battle is being able to communicate and share ideas and discoveries. It is an important skill to have with many fun methods of communication in the digital era. For my educational project, I decided to explain cosmological geometries, one of the only completely new subjects to me in astronomy 16 and 17 and, in my opinion, one of the most interesting. The video can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1aODOgNXCU or watched below.
Youtube description: A basic cosmological introduction to the various theories of the shape of the universe. More explanations for the geometry of circles in different universes can be found here (http://ay16-dfrostig.blogspot.com/2015/11/geometry-of-universe-blog-31-worksheet.html) and more information on Friedmann Equations can be found here (http://ay16-dfrostig.blogspot.com/2015/11/more-friedmann-equations-blog-29.html).
