Torque resource:
This resource is a Khan Academy tutorial/introduction to Torque. I found this video surprisingly informative because I had only seen a couple of science Kahn Academy videos but did not find them incredibly helpful. The ability to draw and animate movement by use of the medium he uses helps the effectiveness of teaching. It does teach the information a little bit differently from the video Ms. Lawrence made which is similar in style which may be confusing, however, it may also be very helpful. I found it helpful.

Center of Mass/Gravity resource:
This page is a blog post on a blog I hadn't heard of but is apparently made by or funded by PBS. This source integrates torque in as well which helps to relate them. The flow of the post is intuitive and east to follow, and it begins with an example to strengthen understanding through real-life. Over all I found this source very helpful.

I enjoyed your resource post. Only thing was that you overused the word helpful in the first paragraph. Try to use different words to describe the same thing. For example you used informative, and though it's not the same thing, it can have a similar effect. My question to you is, what did you learn from each post?
