I know David Letterman really likes to give the students a hard time during the segment, which makes it really funny, I bet the students were treated to a good time. When I show my students the clips of past shows, they laugh but also comment that Letterman is kind of mean to the kids, which is kind of interesting. I saw an episode a couple of months back where he had kid scientists on, and this time I was able to record the show in HD on my computer, which is amazing now. When I first saw the kid scientists segment, it was back in 1994 when I first started student teaching at UC Davis, and I was able to record to VHS every couple of years when I could. Thanks for sharing your experience! That must have been an amazing experience.

I apologize about the quality--it was ripped from a personal VHS copy (from back in the day before all this digital recording) to a DVD and from there to my computer and YouTube. It really was a great experience; I'm mostly sorry I don't have a clip of the other time I went (but wasn't on the show)--My experiment the first time involved a glass jar, a hardboiled egg, and some paper towels being lit that would, in turn, suck the egg through the mouth of the jar and into it. This is a great site, though--rock on. I’m quite honored to be linked to, thank you very much.
