Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: If you've ever felt like you pee a lot, you've got nothing on the sharpshooter bug. They pee like, literally all the time, and they've found a neat trick to get all that waste away from them - they use a physics trick called superpropulsion that's so powerful, we're trying to use it to launch rockets!
