3 Times Scientists Did Weird Experiments With Rubber Ducks

The video explores the unexpected scientific uses of rubber ducks. Initially seen as simple bath toys, rubber ducks have been employed in various scientific studies. In 1992, a cargo spill led to a global citizen science project tracking ocean currents using rubber ducks. NASA later used them to study glacial runoff in Greenland, although the experiment did not yield results. More recently, rubber duck replicas were used in a wildlife counting challenge in Australia, demonstrating the effectiveness of drone photography and algorithms in wildlife census efforts.
