Whiteboard Explainer

An idea explained live on one glossy whiteboard: handwriting and simple diagrams drawn stroke by stroke in dry-erase marker by floating markers (no hands), with wobbly ink, pooled dots, ghosts of old lessons and a drifting window sheen. The camera travels across the board instead of cutting. Made for science explainers and how-it-works shorts.

Why is the sky blue?

Why is the sky blue?

Markers draw the sun, a light wave and an air molecule that scatters blue light in every direction; the camera moves on to "scattering ∝ 1/λ⁴", compares blue 450 nm with red 700 nm and circles about 6×.
