bone tensile strength

This is a great episode to show right before holiday break. The Mythbusters build a holiday-themed Rube Goldberg Machine, designed to make the simplest task as complicated as possible. The rest of the team tackles other holiday related myths including which chemicals help keep the needles on a tree the longest, if a frozen turkey dropped on a pet will kill it, and if the energy coming from a radio antenna can cook a turkey. Science topics include simple machines, Rube Goldberg machine, chemical interactions, uniform controls, force, mass, acceleration, skeletal analogs, bone tensile strength, radio waves, water molecules, and microwaves.
