Thank you so much for watching it, and for the tip on putting a small part of it. You are right, I haven't thought of that. I can't edit the link now (unfortunately!) but yes, I will be following this advice for the future. And I am glad you liked it, its one of our favorite projects. It took a lot of self restrain and patience from kids (and adults haha!) but it was very rewarding at the end:) Let me know if/when you try it!

Reading again my comment, I missed a few words, but perhaps you understand it anyway. My idea was:
"Perhaps you should put a small part of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7kRjHMzK5A&t=6m53s at the beginning of the video as a preview of the final result. "
Something like the movies that show a small part of an important scene at the beginning as a teaser.
It's difficult to try it at home because I have a 3yo that is too impatient. She would love something like this, but also cause a big mess that will be impossible to clean.
From the title I was expecting an usual pendulum experiment and no surprises, but I remembered a previous video about mixing hot and cold water, so I keep watching and got a surprise.
