We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties

Episode Description: When the Time Radio malfunctions, Max and Molly accidentally jump to the wrong time and place — landing on a volcanic island moments before the historic Krakatoa eruption! To fix their device, they explore buoyancy, density, and the physics of springs using Hooke’s Law. With time literally running out, teamwork and Math become their only way home. Math Concepts: Density and buoyancy; Volume and displaced water; Unit comparison and real-world measurement; Hooke’s Law (F = –kx);History/Geography Concepts: The Krakatoa volcanic eruption (1883); Indonesian geography (Sumatra, Java, Rakata Island); Early scientific observation of sound waves and pressure.
