I Didn’t Know That : The Science Behind Ice Skating

Do you know why you can skate across ice? It’s not because ice is slippery. Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips demonstrate the science behind ice skating while trying to maintain their balance!

by National Geographic.

I remember Mr. Wizard doing this wire/block of ice trick when was a kid, but I never put it together with ice skating. I love when simple physics and chemistry can explain our favorite past-times.
