Negative Picture Illusion? Afterimage Illusion
How This Visual Illusion Works
A negative picture is the inverse of a normal, or positive, image. In a negative picture, areas that are white or light appear dark, and darker areas appear to be light. Usually, photo negatives are turned into positive images in a darkroom. But with the negative picture visual illusion, your visual system and brain can briefly create a color image from a negative photo.
How to Create the Negative Picture Illusion/Afterimage Illusion
To see the negative picture illusion:
1) Stare at the dots on the woman's face in the picture for 30 seconds.
2) Turn your eyes immediately to the right white image on the right or a white wall.
3) Blink quickly several times.
You should see an image of a woman in full color, although only briefly. If you are having trouble seeing the effect, try staring at the negative image a bit longer or adjusting how far you are sitting from your computer monitor.
Because not everyone can see it. Take a long, hard look at the picture and see if you’re one of the special ones who can:
This illusion requires you to stare at the dots on the woman's nose for 30 seconds, then look to the right of the image at the white blank space or a white wall. Blink serval times and you should see a flicker of the full color photo of the woman.
This is down to the way our brains interpret imagery and colors and in this case is known as "negative afterimage".
The reason some people are able to visualize the woman in full color is down to cells we have in our eyes known as ganglion (gang·glee·n) cells, which send coded messages to the brain identifying pairs of primary colors.
Dr Juno Kim from the University of NSW School of Optometry and Vision Science to Daily Mail Australia explains:
"The code for all the hues we can experience in the light spectrum – this information is relayed from the back of the eye to the brain via three opponent neuron channels.
As well as black and white, we also have a red and green and a blue and yellow channel, which is the one that comes into play here. Because you stare at a blue background for a prolonged period of time, as soon as you shift your eyes to a ‘uniform’ background – the white space in this instance – the cell declines and starts to project the opposite color.
It is those yellow hues that, for some, reveal the woman in the original negative image as in full color.

thank you Ken
I got my Zipstring straight from their web site at zipstring.com
This is NOT a paid advisement, as I paid for my own. Actually I have bought 5 of them for gifts and probably will buy more.
This fun physics toy is easy to use and can do many different things with. Please let me know in the comments below what tricks you could do with the zipstring.
It carefully balances several forces of momentum, gravity, drag, lift and tension, and drag to fly the string in the air. A interesting note, is that the string flies due to lift created by drag as it moves through the air. The string has fiber that come off the string. The more fibers the more drag.
I assume that the more worn the string would fly better than newly made strings. I assume if you rubbed the new string with sandpaper, little hairs form on the string surface increasing the drag force more, thus allowing for longer loops to lift.
String pushes forward and inertia that keeps it moving forward until it goes back through the wheels to be pushed again.
However, If my basic understanding of physics is correct the string is being pulled through the wheels, not pushed. The resulting dynamics of the string is due to its inertia. I was always lead to believe that the only two pushing forces were gravitational and magnetic. Just the same it is a fun machine that illustrates many properties of physics. Great job Zipstring.
I would not call it pushing the string, it is a case of giving kinetic energy to the elemental string and that element gains momentum and on its own will be projected or shot in the air, as any bullet or small projectile would. The fact that each element is shot as an element and not as a whole centralized mass , that what makes it fly out, but I would not say that it is pushing the other in any way, as once it leaves the circumference of that pulley system , well there is no more pushing, as the gain in speed is done while the string elements are in between the pulleys. Now I would say that the other side each element is pulling the other.
The wave speed is slower on top then it is on the bottom
bottom string is being pulled by the rollers and increasing tension and the top string is being pushed by the rollers which decreases tension. Also explains why waves don't go all the way around the loop. Don't know why when I move the it back and forth only waves on the bottom and not the top, but its very cool.
Awesome in every way, one of the best physics toys and I have ever seen, for it is science and art and mathematics.

Here is a jpeg that you can print out if you don't want to draw it.

Schroeder stairs (Schröder's stairs) is an optical illusion which is a two-dimensional drawing which may be perceived either as a drawing of a staircase leading from left to right downwards or the same staircase only turned upside down, a classical example of perspective reversal in psychology of perception. It is named after the German natural scientist Heinrich G. F. Schröder, who published it in 1858. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This drawing may be variously described as an "reversible figure". The reversible figure refers to the phenomenon that after some time of staring at the figure the perception of its orientation becomes involuntarily reversed.
Schroeder stairs can be perceived in two ways, depending on whether the viewer considers A or B to be the closer wall.
INSTRUCTIONS
Notice how the image can appear to be stairs running from top left to bottom right, or the an upside down version of that image. To experience the different ways the image can look, focus one at a time on the panels labeled 'A' and 'B' and try to see it as being in the foreground.
EFFECT
You should experience a switch between seeing the stairs running from top left to bottom right, or an upside down version of the stairs; in the former the A panel will appear to be in the foreground, and the B panel in the background, and in the latter the B panel will appear to be in the foreground, and the A panel in the background. The image will either change on its own, or you can blink after the image is turned up side down.

2:54 Science behind it
The science behind this is when we placed one tape on top of the tape on the table i was charging the tape by contact. Then when I pulled away the top piece of tape I transferred the electrons from the bottom tape to the top tape. When created a charged piece of tape.
Both pieces of tape have electrons that are negatively charged. When I put the 2 pieces of tape close to each other they repel each other. Magnets do the same when the similar charged ends face each other. Since the bottom piece of tape is attached to the cups the top piece will levitate as it wants to repel each other. Gotta love Science. Saw this on Nitty Gritty Science and had to give a try. I love it. so please check out her account, as she has many great experiment's.

Science Behind it
Oil and water do not mix. Oil repels water. Oil is hydrophobic. The fat molecules inside cocoa powder are hydrophobic too. They repel water.
On the other hand, the starch molecules are hydrophilic. They love water.
Milk is mostly water, so the same rules are true for milk.
When you dunk the cocoa powder in milk, the starch molecules quickly absorb the milk. At the same time, the fat molecules stop the milk from getting any further than the surface. This creates a shell of milk around the outside of the cocoa powder.
When you poke it with a toothpick, you break the shell’s surface tension. The milk rolls off the cocoa powder, and back down into the cup.

PHOTO: stands for Light
SYNTHESIS: stands for Generate (in Greek)
So when you put them together PHOTOSYNTHESIS it means
Plants use light to generate energy.
Besides sunlight plants need water and Carbon dioxide (CO2) to get their food.
Where do you think plants get their Carbon dioxide (CO2) from? People
When we breathe oxygen in the air, the air we breathe out is Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Science behind a leaf breathing
Plants help us breathe by taking in Carbon dioxide (CO2) (for photosynthesis) and letting out oxygen through their leaves. This process is called plant respiration. The leaf uses sunlight during the photosynthesis which is where the plant converts light energy into chemical energy for the planet.
During photosynthesis, the leaf gets rid of what it doesn't need which is oxygen and water.
This oxygen is the bubbles that you see on the leaf. This bubbles is plant respiration in action!

3) Peeps Sink or Float?
Each and every experiment using peeps mentioned here are simple, easy to do, easy to set up, and fun experiments that breaks the day up and turns into a great science lessons.
Microwave Peeps
Marshmallows are mostly sugar and water wrapped around a bunch of air bubbles. When you microwave them it makes the water molecules vibrate very quickly and the water heats up. The hot water warms the sugar, which softens a little. The hot water also warms the air bubbles.
As the air in the bubbles warms up, they bounce around faster and faster and push harder against the bubble walls and causes the bubbles to expand, and the marshmallow puffs up.
Sink or Float Peeps
The orginal Peep floats because it is filled with tiny air bubbles. But when I flatted the Peep on the plate and squeezed out all the air bubbles and then rolled it into a ball, this time the Peep sunk. Let me know if you can make your peep sink and how you did it?
Peeps and warm water
Peeps are coated in food coloring and sugar. When you pour warm water over the Peeps the colored coating dissolves spreading through the water and making a cool design like Skittles experiment. Plus best part of this experiment is they still taste GREAT! Just a little wet, but the price of doing science. : )

I have coached Rilpey in Cross county and wrestling and he follows me on my youtube channel and ask if we could do a ppaper airplane experiment. Of course we can, so we did. If you have any ideas for experiments please contact me and let me know your idea? thanks Ken
This experiment was just to see how far we could throw a paper airplane with different paper weight. We used 4 different paper weights and two different paper air plane designs. Yes measurements were taken with our eye from the chalked area which was measured. This was not going to be in the Guinness World Records so I'm sure we were off on our measurements a tad, but we had fun doing the experiments.
Let us know how far you were able to throw your airplane by emailing me at elementarysciencenight@ gmail.com
thanks for watching and special thanks for Ripley.

0:18 Science behind it
0:35 what you need
0:37 Experiment
When a figure skater glides into a graceful spin on the ice, she rotates slowly at first, then faster as she tucks in her arms. Often, the skater spins so fast that you might wonder why she doesn't fall down. This impressive skating technique relies on a physics phenomenon called the conservation of angular momentum. When the skater starts to spin, her arms have their own momentum. As she draws them near to her torso, her body gains some of that momentum, causing her to speed up. You can see angular momentum at work by spinning with a office chair.
I first start off on the office chair with my arms out holding to 5lb weights or less. Having someone push me in a circle starts me off with angular momentum.
When I first started spinning, the weights in my hands gained momentum. When I pulled in my arms to my chest, I reduced the distance between the axis of rotation and some of my mass, reducing my moment of inertia. Since angular momentum is conserved, my rotational velocity must increase to compensate.
An ice skater is spinning on the tip of her skate with her arms extended. Her angular momentum is conserved because the net torque on her is negligibly small. Her rate of spin increases greatly when she pulls in her arms, decreasing her moment of inertia. The work she does to pull in her arms results in an increase in rotational kinetic energy.

I did this collaboration video with Aramalis' Adventures and it was my 3rd collaboration video. I have done one from Australia and UK.
Take a wire coat hanger and unwind it (be careful it can be sharp), then bend the hanger straight and then fold in half. Now make it into the shape of the letter “M.” Make sure the center point of the M is “pointy” . Then put a hole into each tennis ball and carefully push the tennis ball on to each end.
The science behind it
This activity is Newton’s First Law in action. When you spin your body around in a circle and the tennis balls stays put- it is because of inertia. An object at rest will stay at rest. You can spin and spin and spin yourself, but those tennis balls will stay in the same place at rest. Now when you push the tennis balls, they spin around your head and eventually the friction
between your head and the hanger will stop the balls from spinning.
My third experiment with water bottle, wire and paper airplanes is my favorite Newton's 1st law. When you spin the airplanes they don't stop as fast as the friction is not so great and they don't stop as fast.
You need to have a little patience making these Inertia hats or planes and making it balance takes time. Let me know in the comments how yours turn out? thanks Ken #inertiahat #newtonsfirstlaw #inertia #howtomakeainertiahat

1:16 Meniscus Effect (water curved up)
2nd Experiment Cheerio and Thumb tack
1:55 cheerio repels from thumb tack
2:28 3rd Experiment Thumb tack and thumb tack plastic only
Every wonder why your cereal bunches together?
When you look closely where the cereal meets the milk it curves up, the same thing happens at the edge of the bowl. This is called the Meniscus effect. It gives you a U shape from the Cheerio in the middle to the bowl edge.
A buoyant object will always be pushed up the liquid to the highest point on a meniscus.
That’s what makes them stick to the edge of the bowl.
When you drop in a couple cheerios into the bowl they are pushed together to the highest point of the bowl. A single cheerio will be pushed to the edge. This is why your cereal bunches together.
The cereal is lighter than the water so surface tension holds the cheerios on top of the water. The water molecules like to stick to each other so much, and become strong enough to hold up tiny things.
This time I tried a couple thumbtacks and the same thing happens. But the difference is the water around each thumbtack is curved down, where the cheerio is curved up. So this time instead of moving up the water, they fall down the water.
When I take off the plastic piece of the thumbtack and put it next to a regular thumbtack they are not pulled together, but repelled to each other. They push the other away.

Place gift card on glass
Make prediction on how many coins you can stack
Place coins on outside of glass on the gift card
How does this happen?
This fun & easy experiment works on surface tension. Surface tension is a thin sheet or skin formed by water. Surface tension tightly holds the water molecules together. Thus, if the surface tension of the water remains undisturbed, it will be able to support the weight of the pennies. Thus, the gift card is not actually floating, it is simply being held on the water surface due to surface tension. Several insects such as grasshoppers and water spider use this “sheet” to walk across water.

What you need
3 to 7 glasses of equal height (depends on what colors you want to use.)
Water
Food Coloring (Red, Blue, Yellow )
Paper Towel (I used Bounty)
I used hot water and Bounty Paper towels (The quicker Picker upper)
Kids can learn about how secondary colors are formed when the orange, green and purple colors are made in the empty cups and Capillary Action.
Capillary effects involve two things: the surface tension of the liquid itself and the contact angle of the liquid on a solid surface. High surface tension means the liquid is capable of clinging strongly to itself. Low contact angle means good "wetting" of the surface by the liquid and maximizes the effectiveness of that pull.
This means that high surface tension and low contact angle mean a high capillary draw up the paper towels.
Now, as the temperature of water increases, the surface tension of the water diminishes. This makes it easier for attractive forces between water molecules and other surfaces in the vicinity to pull water into capillary crevices and pores in those surfaces and wet them out. This is why hot water does a better job rinsing dirt out of your clothes than cold water does: it reduces the contact angle between the water and the solid surfaces, enhancing the wettability of those surfaces.
But note that if we reduce the surface tension of the water, we reduce the available pull force it can exert to drag itself up a vertical surface against gravity. So although the hot water wets that surface better, it cannot climb as far up that surface, and the capillary draw goes down in response. But lucky for us, we don't have to climb very far, so gravity is not going to be a problem for this experiment.
We make up for this by agitating the surfaces in contact with the water while washing them, so as to assist the water to get in there and do its job. This is why we put agitators in washing machines.
We can do much the same at room temperature by adding detergents to the water which "break" its surface tension without heat. Now it wets the surfaces like crazy.
Capillary Action .....in Action! Without capillary action, the water level in all glasses would be the same.
Even if you've never heard of capillary action, it is still important in your life. Capillary action is important for moving water (and all of the things that are dissolved in it) around. It is defined as the movement of water within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension.
Capillary action occurs because water is sticky, thanks to the forces of cohesion (water molecules stay close together) & adhesion (water molecules are attracted & stick to other substances). Adhesion of water to the walls of a vessel will cause an upward force on the liquid at the edges and result in a meniscus which turns upward. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube (picture to right) is limited by surface tension and, of course, gravity.
Not only does water tend to stick together in a drop, it sticks to glass, cloth, organic tissues, soil, and, luckily, to the fibers in a paper towel. Dip a paper towel into a glass of water and the water will "climb" onto the paper towel. In fact, it will keep going up the towel until the pull of gravity is too much for it to overcome.

Special thanks to @Nittygrittyscience on instagram
https://smart.bio/nittygrittyscience/
What you need
L bracket
Sticky note paper
Lighter/Torch
Glass
Vinegar
Baking soda
Step 1 (Setup)
Take your sticky note and roll it up with the sticky part facing up. Start rolling opposite side of the sticky part. You want to be able to make it small enough to fit into your L bracket.
Step 2 (Setup)
Pour baking soda into the glass, then pour some vinegar ontop of the baking soda. This will cause a chemical reaction and makes Carbon Dioxide gas.
Step 3
Hold the L bracket above the glass. If you hold the L bracket to low inside the glass the carbon dioxide gas could put out the fire on the sticky note. Now light the top part of the sticky note.
You will notice the smoke comes out the bottom of the sticky note. This is not normal as you know smoke rises. Like with forrest fires and camp fires. The Science behind why the smoke sinks is the smoke only can come out the bottom of the sticky note and as it goes down the sticky note tube it cools down and becomes heavy and sinks to the bottom. Like in my other experiment Smoke Waterfall youtu.be/zTBnOx9IZls But this time we have carbon dioxide gas in the glass so it is floating.
Now when you move the glass back and forth, the smoke looks like its moving around like a liquid. Pretty cool.
SCIENCE BEHIND IT
Science behind why doesn’t the smoke rise?
When paper burns it breaks down to millions of gases and water vapors. Normally these molecules are heaver then air. The flame excites these molecules making them lighter then air. Which makes the rising smoke you see from a normal fire.
In this experiment all the hot smoke molecules are being trapped into the paper tube and which prevents them from rising.
The trapped smoke molecules are given time to cool off and which releases the energy that allowed them to be lighter then air.
The cooler smoke molecules fall instead of rise and escape out the paper tube and creates the smoke waterfall affect.

2:13 Science Behind it
How it Works link on Leuco dyes
I went into my local ice cream place Toppings and started to fill my bowl and noticed my bowl was changing colors. I could smell science in the air. Bottom line, these spoons and bowls are awesome. But have you ever wondered how they work? Today I investigate the basic color changing spoons and bowls and Science Behind them.
There are two types of thermochromic inks that make these color changes possible: Thermochromic Liquid Crystals (TLCs) and Leuco dyes, which we will be talking about.
Have you ever heard the term Thermochromic? If no don't worry, most people haven’t. The word comes from the Greek words thermos = mean, chroma = color. Thermochromic represents materials that signal temperature change by changing colors. In the case of color changing materials, they can be found in a variety of objects such as mood rings, battery testers, coffee cups and yes, color changing spoons and bowls. But the science behind this goes beyond just changing colors. It turns out many materials react in one way or another.
In the case of color changing spoons and bowls however we want to look at temperature sensitive dyes known as Leuco dyes, which start off as a particular color and become visible when the temperature rises or falls. Leuco dyes are organic chemicals that change color when energy makes their molecules shift back and forth. Based on if the temperature is hot or cold will determine how these molecules reflect light and thus present different colors.
So as magical as these spoons and bowls appear, we are afraid there is no magic to it. Simply science which allows us to have these awesome spoons that everyone can enjoy.
This type of Thermochromic ink is Leuco dyes. These dyes are a bit different than TLCs. For starters, they feature more “durable” chemistry. A well known way Leuco dyes have been used is in Coors Light beer cans. Remember the mountain featured on the can? When the can is at room temperature, the mountains appear white. However, once cooled to around 45 degrees fahrenheit the mountains turn blue.
For more information on Leuco dyes and their sizes which prevents them from being damaged from other chemicals, check out How Stuff Works electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/other-gadgets/thermochromic-ink.htm#pt2 explained in great detail on the science behind Leuco dyes. I just covered this at a high level.

0:52 Set up
2:11 The final results of experiment
Steps
1) Gather leaves
2) Tear/cut leaves into small pieces
3) Place leaves in a beaker or glass,
4) Then add just enough rubbing alcohol to cover them.
4a) Optional - Cover the beaker with plastic wrap to keep the alcohol from evaporating.
5) Put the beaker/glass in a bowl of hot tap water for about 30 minutes
6) Cut a strip of coffee filter about a half inch wide. I just placed my into the beaker/glass or you can tape it to a pencil. Suspend the pencil across the beaker and let the strip just barely touch the alcohol and pigment mixture.
Science behind it
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert light energy from the sun to chemical food energy. To absorb the light, leaves use brightly colored pigments with chlorophyll being the most important one.
Leaf chromatography is an experiment that allows us to see the colorful pigments that leaves have hidden inside them. The green leaf color is the chlorophyll, which helps plants absorb the yellow and blue wavelengths of light. Chlorophyll is the main pigment used for photosynthesis, or harvesting energy from sunlight! Those leaves have so much chlorophyll in them that it hides the other pigments from view. Some of these other pigments are carotenoids (yellow, orange, red, or brown in color; absorb blue light) and anthocyanin (pink-red colored; absorb blue-green light) – these two pigments help plants absorb additional wavelengths of light and help plants deal with some of the stress that sunlight can cause. In the fall, chlorophyll begins to break down, and the other pigments, which have been there all along, are finally revealed. Yellow leaves have pigments called xanthophyll, orange leaves have a pigment called carotenoids. Anthocyanin give leaves their intense red and purple pigments.
How did the pigments separate? That coffee filter that you dipped into the leafy-liquid started to absorb that liquid. The liquid travelled up the coffee filter in a process called capillary action – the liquid filled tiny holes in the paper towel and gradually climbed up the coffee filter. While the liquid was climbing the coffee filter, it took plant pigments with it! The plant pigments are different sizes and shapes so they were carried different distances up the paper towel by the liquid.
These pigments, however, aren’t present in the leaves during the summer and are only made toward the end of summer. I'm located in Northern California.

Here is where I got my rubber bands
amzn.to/3lI7wkC
Safety: Use Safety glasses and do not look directly over the watermelon as it is going to shoot up like a rocket!
This demonstrated show the difference between potential and kinetic energy by exploding a watermelon with rubber bands.
You will need a watermelon, 300-400 rubber bands, some Safety glasses and do this outside. Mom's don't think its funny doing this experiment indoors. : )
I used size 64 rubber bands, which stretch easily to 17 inches. 3 1/2 x 1/4 (88.9 mm x 6.4mm)
size 64 Rubber bands
amzn.to/3lI7wkC
Put your melon on a table. We use a cardboard box to hold it up right. You will need two volunteers for the experiment as its little hard to pull the rubber band over the melon by your self. I would recommend one at a time start slipping rubber bands around it. You want to make a big belt of rubber bands around the melon’s middle, so just keep stacking them on top of each other.
After a few minutes of applying rubber bands, pause and take a look at your melon. Is it still the same shape? You may start to see the top and bottom of the melon bulge out around the rubber bands. It starts to look like the number 8 in the middle.
As we stretch the rubber bands out to get them around the melon. But once they’re in place, they start to contract, squeezing the melon. All that pressure from the outside is forcing the inside of the watermelon to find some place else to go, so it’s will start to bulge. Looks like the number 8 in the middle.
Rubber bands are a great example of potential energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored up, not being used, just waiting to be unleashed.
Think about when you stretch a rubber band, then let go and it snaps back. It’s using up its potential energy.
When potential energy is used up, it becomes kinetic energy—energy in motion. So right now all those rubber bands around the watermelon are stretched out and full of potential energy, ready to snap back. and guess whats going to happen to the melon in their way?
Keep adding rubber bands and eventually the strength of the rubber bands’ potential energy will put enough force on the watermelon to squeeze the top and bottom of the melon apart. The rubber bands will cut through the melon and contract. What do you expect the melon to do?
Once your melon explodes, the rubber bands will have snapped back and used up their potential energy for now.

How many times have you cracked an egg into a bowl, only to question whether the egg has gone bad or not? Unfortunately, eggs are not the easiest to determine the freshness of as the shell hides the condition..
How to Tell If Eggs Are Bad
The fun method to conduct the egg floating test. This is not a myth; fresh eggs sink while bad eggs float to the top.
Simply fill a bowl with cold tap water and place your eggs in it. If they sink to the bottom, they are fresh and good to eat.
A bad egg will float because of the large air cell that forms at its base. Any floating eggs should be thrown out.
All egg cartons and trays sold in USA with a sell-by date.
First: ignore the sell-by date. The USDA mandates that any sell-by date on eggs be 21–30 days from when they were packed. The sell-by date is very general, and while it's helpful for inventory management if you’re running a grocery store, it's not as useful for cooks at home.
There's a more reliable way to figure out whether your eggs are still good to eat. On the side of every egg carton, there's a longer numerical code listed above or below the expiration or sell-by date. The last three digits of this longer code correspond to the Julian date, which counts each day of the year as a number between 001 and 365—for example, "140" is May 20th (the USDA has a handy chart dm.usda.gov/procurement/toolkit/docs/calendar.pdf
, in case you don't want to do the math).
That date is the exact day that the eggs were packed, and they're going to be totally fine within four to five weeks of that pack date.

3:42 Higher altitude 2nd experiment
4:45 boiling higher altitude time
5:28 final results
This was not an controlled environment test as I used different pots, and amount of water in each location. My results not being controlled still will show it takes longer to boil at higher altitudes. I was at a air bnb and could not take the pot home, but wanted to show the difference as it took so much longer to boil water. I will next time try this with a control environment.
One of those circumstances is a change in altitude. At higher altitudes, air pressure is lower. There's simply less air pushing down on us the higher we ascend into the atmosphere.
The boiling point of water: the temperature at which liquid water begins turning to vapor, which occurs when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. At a higher elevation, the lower atmospheric pressure means heated water reaches its boiling point more quickly—i.e., at a lower temperature. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; at 5,000 feet above sea level, the boiling point is 203 degrees F (95 C). Up at 10,000 feet, water boils at 194 degrees F (84.4 C).
This is the opposite of what many people suppose: that water takes longer to boil on high. As we’ve just demonstrated, boiling water at altitude is quicker. But the fact that the boiling temperature is lower at higher elevations means food takes longer to cook, which is where the confusion lies. At 5,000 feet, where water boils almost 10 degrees cooler than at sea level, you need to roughly double the cooking time.
In terms of a rough boiling point elevation equation, subtract about one degree from the boiling temperature with each 500-foot increase in elevation.
How do high altitudes affect cooking?
At altitudes above 3,000 feet, preparation of food may require changes in time, temperature or recipe. The reason is the lower atmospheric pressure due to a thinner blanket of air above. At sea level, the air presses on a square inch of surface with 14.7 pounds pressure; at 5,000 feet with 12.3 pounds pressure; and at 10,000 feet with only 10.2 pounds pressure — a decrease of about 1/2 pound per 1,000 feet. This decreased pressure affects food preparation in two ways:
As atmospheric pressure decreases, water boils at lower temperatures. At sea level, water boils at 212 °F (100 C). With each 500-feet increase in elevation, the boiling point of water is lowered by just under 1 °F. At 7,500 feet, for example, water boils at about 198 °F (92.2 C). Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher elevations, foods that are prepared by boiling or simmering will cook at a lower temperature, and it will take longer to cook.

Miracle Fruit is not the taste of the fruit itself that matters. To understand why the berry gets its name, you need to eat something sour/acidic. The berries have the ability to make sour foods taste deliciously sweet. Take one, and you can swig vinegar like it was a milkshake, or bite lemons as if they were candy.
The secret to the fruit’s taste-transforming powers is a protein called miraculin.
Synsepalum dulcificum is the plant that produces the taste-altering berry known as the "Miracle Berry/Fruit." The plant itself originates from West Africa, where it is widely used before meals. The active ingredient in the miracle berry/fruit is miraculin.
How do they work?
But it’s not the taste of the fruit itself that matters. To understand why the berry gets its name, you need to eat something acidic. The berries have the ability to make sour foods taste deliciously sweet. Munch one, and you can swig vinegar like it was a milkshake, or bite lemons as if they were candy.
Miracle berries contain a protein, Miraculin. The protein coats the taste buds and changes their receptivity so that sour foods taste sweet. Our taste experiments show that the more sour/acidic a food is, the stronger the sweet flavor becomes.
What happens when you chomp on a miracle fruit. Miraculin sits on your sweet receptors. While it is on your receptors, it silences the receptors, which is why the fruit itself tastes of very little. Whenever you take a bite or swig of something acidic, miraculin gains a few extra protons and changes shape. In doing so, it also changes the shape of the sweet receptors it has stuck to, sending them into a signalling frenzy.
Our Miracle Frooties lasted about 20 to 30 minutes where things started to taste sour again.

0:39 releasing them
0:58 up close baby Praying mantis
Praying mantids are the perfect insect science experiment. Education and school lessons are important, so watch my egg sac / ootheca hatch and be released into my garden.
A Fantastic Addition To The Garden Or As A Science Project!
Praying mantids eat a wide variety of pest insects, mites, and insect eggs. Mantis egg cases are commonly released by gardeners looking for general garden pest control without chemicals. They can be instrumental in beginning biological control as part of an integrated pest management program. Young mantids prey upon smaller soft-bodied insects, while adults graduate to larger pests.
How Long Do Praying Mantis Egg Cases Take To Hatch?
Mine took 2 and half weeks, but can take up to 6 weeks. Each kit has instructions on how to care for your Praying mantis.
How long do they live?
Small one can live about 4 to 8 weeks and large ones about 4 to 6 months
How Many Praying Mantids Are In One Egg Case?
Each praying mantis egg case, called ootheca, is contains between 50–200 individual eggs.
FUN FACTS
1) They can see in 3D
2) Mantises are the only insects capable of turning their heads from side to side
3) Praying mantises are supremely gifted in camouflage. They come in the form of leaves and sticks and branches
4) They eat live prey
5) They jump with extreme precision
6) They engage in coital cannibalism
7) They locate their prey by sight; their compound eyes contain up to 10,000 ommatidia. A small area at the front called the fovea has greater visual acuity than the rest of the eye, and can produce the high resolution necessary to examine potential prey.
8) Mantises have two spiked, grasping forelegs ("raptorial legs") in which prey items are caught and held securely.
9) Their predators include frogs, lizards, and birds, as well as certain kinds of spiders

1:12 1st experiment blowing to make waves
2:06 2nd experiment house fan to make waves
2:24 How large the waves get is dependent on 3 factors
2:44 3rd experiment air blower to make waves
1st experiment blowing over the surface was not enough wind to make but little ripples that didn't go very far.
2nd experiment with the house fan made ripples go farther but not very large in size
The 3rd experiment created the most waves as it was able to maintain the 3 factors strength of the wind, amount of time the wind blew and the distance (called fetch) over which the wind blew in a straight line.
What causes waves?
Well wind generates waves and it works when wind blows over the surface for a long distance and time makes the waves. What the wind is doing is making energy from the wind to the water.
A disturbing force is necessary to create waves on the ocean surface. The type of disturbing force determines the characteristics of the generated waves.
The 3 main wave generation forces in are:
• Gravitational Attraction of Moon and Sun produces Tides
• Earthquakes and Under water Landslides generate Tsunami
• Wind Stress over the ocean generates Wind Wave
Wind blowing across the surface of the ocean transfers energy into the water. Initially, light winds generate small Ripples called capillary waves on the water surface. If the wind increases, the added roughness created by the capillary waves increases the rate of energy transfer and waves begin to form on the ocean surface.
Waves on the ocean surface are usually formed by wind. ... The faster the wind, the longer it blows, or the farther it can blow uninterrupted, the bigger the waves. Therefore, a wave's size depends on wind speed, wind duration, and the area over which the wind is blowing (the fetch).
How large the waves get is dependent on 3 factors:
• The strength of the wind
• The amount of time the wind blows
• The distance (called fetch) over which the wind blows in a straight line across the ocean
Tsunamis
Often misnamed tidal waves, Tsunamis are long period waves that originate when a strong earthquake or landslide occurs under the ocean. The motion of the earth sends a strong impulse of
energy into the water generating surface waves with open ocean heights of less than 2 feet but
with wave lengths of over 100 miles and wave speeds approaching 500 miles per hour!

0:31 The experiment
Blow up the balloon a small amount, then place 2 paper cups
on the outside of the balloon, Continue to blow up the balloon.
Then have your volunteer release the cups. The cups should stay on the balloons even if you turn the balloon around. The reason is atmospheric pressure. When I blew up the balloon it took some of the air in the cups and it lower the air pressure in the cups, so the air pressure outside the cup was higher and help keep the cups on the balloon. When I release the air out of the balloon the air pressure came down and the cups fell off the balloon.

The ink has three components. One component is a pigment (the color) that reacts to acidity by turning invisible. The second component is a chemical that acts as an acid or a base. The third component reacts to heat by activating the acid/base.
By twiddling these three components, the manufacturers can make an ink that disappears when enough heat is applied and reappears when sufficiently cold. When you erase with the rubber, the friction creates heat which changes the acidity of the ink and makes it invisible. When it is cooled down, the acidity changes back and the ink becomes visible again.
Many years of development went into the thermo sensitive Metamo ink that gives the FriXion line its main selling point. Microcapsules that form the pigmentation contain an equal mix of three substances. These 3 parts, A B & C is how it works. (A) Color Pigment, (B) Color-Activating Agent and (C) Transparency Agent. At regular temperatures Color Pigment (A) and Color-Activating Agent (B) are bound together. Allowing the color to show. When the ink is rubbed with a hard-plastic eraser heat from the resulting fiction causes (B) to separate from (A) and bind with Transparency Agent (C). (A) becomes ineffective and the ink color disappears from the page. the science behind frixion erasable pens pen review

From the parts that build up the string popsicle climber (back, arms and legs) only the legs are mobile, due to the rubber band. The forces acting on the climber, the following is observed: The climber's weight is compensated by the friction between the arms and the string (Hot glue & toothpick). When the string is pulled, the toothpicks straighten the legs. This causes the body to stretch, when the string is tense, resulting in a small rise in the body. As soon as the pressure on the string is released, the arms provides enough friction for the climber to hold on to the string while the legs are lifted by the rubber band, moving the string to a new position. Awesome science.

2:46 2nd Experiment (Red & Blue vinegar)
Baking soda and Vinegar Lava lamp experiment you can make it using just a few simple pantry ingredients and recycled jar or glass. It doesn’t get any easier than this!
When you add the vinegar, which is more dense than the oil, it sinks down through it at the bottom. Sometimes this doesn't happen right away and you will see little bubbles of the vinegar floating in the oil just above the colored water!
When the vinegar (acetic acid) and baking soda (bicarbonate of soda, a base) mix together a chemical reaction begins, the same gas that we also breathe out, carbon dioxide. These gas bubbles back out up through the oil. When the bubbles pop at the surface, any vinegar they carried with them will sink again while more bubbles continue coming up.
This carries on while the chemical reaction continues - you can keep adding more acid every now and then until it stops.

2:11 1st Experiment with Isopropyl Alcohol boat
3:46 2nd experiment Soap boat
A boat powered by isopropyl alcohol and the Marangoni Effect. For more information pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ed400316a
Water molecules are strongly attracted to each other and stick close together. This creates a strong but flexible "skin" on the water's surface called surface tension. Surface tension allows the boat to float on top of the water.
Adding soap disrupts the arrangement of the water molecules. The water molecules near the detergent are attracted to the detergent as well as to other water molecules, so the surface tension of the water behind the boat decreases. Water molecules move from areas of low surface tension to areas of high surface tension. The boat is pulled towards areas of high surface tension by the water in front of the boat.
This does not happen with Isopropyl alcohol as it is not is not a surfactant,
but rather is miscible with water, the alcohol molecules completely dissolve in the water. The alcohol molecules do not pile up on the surface of the water and therefore do not lower the surface tension of the water.
This is why you can keep adding Isopropyl alcohol and keep the boat going, where as you can not with the dish soap as it breaks the surface tension.
Results
Isopropyl Alcohol boat went 18 feet (5.49 m)
1st 5 ft took
Soap Boat 8.5 ft (2.59 m)

3:59 Fun Fact: They are both rolling down
4:18 3rd experiment
4:36 4th experiment
Set up
2 funnels glued or tape together.
3 books, one thiner book on the lower end and 2 thicker books on the high end
2 yard sticks (.91 m) or any 2 pieces of wood in a v-shape from thin book to thick book.
If you use yard stick tape to books.
Place funnels on lower end of thin book on top of the v-shape yard sticks and let go.
If it does not start rolling, then move it up a little and try again
Science Behind it
When the funnels are glued together, their center of gravity is directly between the two wide openings. When the funnels are placed on the yard sticks on the table, they begin to roll because their center of gravity is going down. As you can see the funnels go below the yard sticks. The yard sticks allow the center of gravity of the funnels to go down as the funnels travel up the yard sticks. The funnels’ shape causes an optical illusion as they appear to be rolling uphill, even though the center of gravity is actually rolling downhill. So it does fit all things roll down hill, even though it looks like its rolling up. Because of the shape of the funnels.
The keys to this experiment are the shape of the funnels, the v-shape position of the yard sticks (ruler), and the object’s center of gravity. You can see I have these yard sticks and one end is higher than the other side. How you ever heard of anything that can roll up hill. Well besides my “Gravity Hill experiment” Everything rolls down hill, except these 2 funnels. I place them on the low end of the yard sticks and they roll up hill to the high end.
The reason is the 2 yard sticks are very close to the center of the 2 funnels I have attacked together. So when the funnels start to roll they are rolling down hill because they are rolling down the funnel sides as the yard sticks get wider. So it does fit all things roll down hill, even though it looks like its rolling up. Because of the shape of the funnels.

How Does It Work?
The power of the sun. Don’t blink or your going to miss this one. Why does the inside black balloon pop before the outside clear balloon pop when using a magnifying glass? The clear balloon has most of the light pass through it like a window, but the black balloon surface that doesn't reflect any light… it absorbs almost all of it. With a surface absorbing all of that light, it also absorbs the energy. In this case, that energy is heat, and a lot of it. The heat absorbed by the black balloon from the focused sunlight quickly causes the bonds of the balloon to weaken until it can no longer contain the air on the inside. The pressure from the air is just too much as it explodes, releasing the air into the clear balloon.
You can not use white balloon as you need to use a clear mylar balloon. Be care using a magnifying glass as you can be burnt. Adult Supervision required
Trouble shooting
Do not make your black balloon to small.
Clear balloon should be just a little bigger then the black balloon
Magnifying glass needs to have its light hit the clear balloon with a bright small dot. Must hold balloon and magnifying glass still.
Recommend to hold clear balloon by the knot.
Make sure the light from the magnifying glass is not aimed at the know part of the balloon. Should be in middle of black balloon.
I use a 12 inch (30.4 cm) clear balloon
9 inch (22.8 cm) black balloon
Magnifying glass was just a normal one. I put link above

Set up
1) Fill a large jar about 3/4 full of water
2) Then add a cup of vegetable oil to the jar. Wait a couple seconds for the oil to separate from the water.
3) Optional add food coloring to the water.
The experiment
1) Add a tablespoon of salt to the jar.
2) Watch the Bubbles form at the bottom and float back to the top.
3) Add more salt and watch the oil bubbles
This is a fun & easy science experiment, kids can explore density and a little bit of chemistry as they make oil bubbles with just a few common household items.
Oil & water don’t mix because of their densities and the chemistry of oil and water molecules. Oil is LESS dense than water. Oil are made of non-polar molecules. Water is made of polar molecules that can interact with other polar molecules. Because oil & water are made of unlike molecules, they cannot interact with each other and stay separate. Even though oil and water are both liquids, they are what chemists call immiscible liquids. Which means they don't mix.
Salt is heavier than water, so when I added salt on top of the oil, it sinks to the bottom of the mixture, carrying some of the oil with it. In the water, the salt starts to dissolve. As it dissolves, the salt releases the oil, which floats back up to the top of the water. After the salt dissolves, you can add more salt and it will create more oil bubbles.
Try these other experiments with your Oil Bubbles
Try spreading the salt in a thin layer on top of the oil
Then pour it in one blob. Does that make it have bigger or smaller oil bubbles?
Try this experiment again using two jars, one warm water & one cold water. How does the different temperature waters affect the rate at which salt dissolves (which jar does the oil bubbles rise the fastest)?

I think Magic Milk experiment was like my 3rd experiment on youtube and love watching the milk exploded and make cool patterns and I still love it. Over the years I have my top 10 experiments that I love, but this one is now my favorite. I could not stop trying it.
So similar to Magic milk, but you use glue instead of milk. This is like Magic Milk on steroids.
I'm using wood glue, which is a light yellow, but Elmer's white or clear glue should work.
Set up
1) Pour glue on a paper plate.
2) Rotate the plate around a circle to spread the glue out thin in a circle.
3) Then put drops of food coloring. You can do one or as many as you like.
4) Add one drop of dish soap. I used dawn dish soap. You can also use a Qtip and dip that into the dish soap and touch each food coloring drop.
5) Sit back and enjoy the science
Try one drop of yellow and one drop of red ontop of the yellow, then add the dish soap.
Try two different colors apart and one drop of soap inbetween the two colors. See video.
Science Behind it
Elmer’s glue has water in it and chemical compound called polyvinyl acetate. These long flexible molecules are moving around in the water like intertwined strands of hair. When the food coloring drops are added, they are prevented from spreading out much by the combination of water and polyvinyl acetate molecules.
When the dish soap is added, the soap molecules interact with the coloring and the glue water mixture. The soap molecules spread out and move the coloring with them. The branching pattern of the moving color may have something to do with the interaction of the soap with the different components of the mixture.
Let me know if the comments what combination of colors you tried.

0:55 The experiment
1:01 How does it work?
Mixing two colors together to create a different color has a certain wow factor, especially for younger students. This experiment takes the excitement up a notch because the colors aren’t mixed together, but the same color changing effect is achieved.
How does it work?
Red, yellow and blue are the primary colors. When you combine these three primary colors together in equal amounts, they will make white light. When the primary colors are combined together in different amounts, they produce other colors. Like I did with 2 drops of blue and 10 drops of yellow. These colors are referred to as secondary colors.
In this experiment, when I look through two colors at once, the colors “mix” together similar to how they would if I put two drops of yellow food coloring and two drops of blue food coloring in a glass of water and stirred them together. Because primary colors (yellow and blue) were used in this experiment, when we looked through the bowl they “combined” to form a secondary color (green).
The second experiment I tried Red and Blue and we were able to see purple.
You can try Red + Yellow = Orange. Let me know which colors you tried?

2:42 Experiment paper Spider climb.
To make this you will require a straw, paper cut out with card stock, glue and 2 to 6 meters of string. Thread the string through the straws as shown. Hang the string on the hanger and tie a knot with the straws at the two ends as shown. Hang the hanger on the top of the door or if you have shorter amount of string put it around the door knob. Now hold the two ends of the string and pull them alternately. Slowly, you will see the spider climb up the string. Pull one string down and out, then pull the other string down and out. Keep repeating with each hand. Here you can see the climb in slow motion.
Science behind this is when we pull down and out, we cause tension with some friction. When we pull the string into the middle or not pulling down the spider will fall as we now have release the tension and friction.
See how many pulls it takes to get to the top of the door? Try something different then a spider, a bird or a cat or dog.
If you are using a hanger then you will need to measure the string to be twice the door height. If you are using the door knob then you will need twice the amount of string from the floor to the door knob.
I use kite string and any size straw.
As for my cut out spider. I drew it and it measurements are:
7 inches (17 cm) by 4inches (10cm)
Straws glued on back of spider are 1 inch (3 cm) apart
Try to use longer straws to see if the spider will climb faster?
What happens if your straws are farther apart?
Let me know if you have any questions

Toothpicks are made of dry wood. When I broke the toothpick in the middle, the wood fragments inside are compress. Once I added water to the broken part, capillary action causes the water to be absorbed into the toothpicks.
The water moves inside the dry toothpick from the starting point of the crack and continues along the length to the pointed tips. The capillary action or water traveling inside the toothpick causes the toothpicks to straighten out. The toothpick will continue to straighten out until the coin falls into the bottle.
Tips: Do not use a coin that can not fit into the bottle. When you break the toothpick , it has to be connected., but bend in half.
See how many coins you can stack on the toothpick and still have it open up.

1st experiment Strength of a paper bridge
Take a couple books at each end and start with just the piece of paper laid over like a bridge.
Place you cup or jar on top of paper making a bridge. If the cup doesn't support the bridge? Then you need a cup that is lighter. Or fold the paper in half. Remember to make a prediction on how many marbles each bridge can hold?
Then take the paper and fold 1 inch (2.54 cm) segments the long way of the paper. Now see how many marbles the bridge can hold? When I laid down the paper by it self, it could not hold one marble. When I folded the paper 12 times it was able to hold 57 marbles. Same piece of paper, but increased the weight the bridge could support by folding it. Be creative and see are there other ways to fold the paper to make the bridge stronger?
2nd Experiment Strength of a square, triangle and cylinder like a building
Take a piece a paper, and make one of each (cylinder, square and triangle). Tape the ends so they stay in that shape.
It's important to make sure the cylinder, square & triangle are flat and balanced on the top and bottom. If not, the books will tip over very quick. Make a prediction on how many books each one can support?
Now start stacking books onto of your on the square? Predict how many books the square can hold? Then do the same for the triangle and then the cylinder.
TIP: make sure the books are balanced in the middle of the each column, if not they will tip over.
Science Behind it
The shape of the column determines how the weight of the books on top is distributed. With a triangular or square-shaped column, the increasing weight is distributed to the corners or edges of the column. If the weight isn’t distributed evenly, the column will buckle and fall. A cylinder-shaped column can hold more weight because all parts of the column support the books equally.
Everyone is going to have different books, so to let you know how much I was able to stack here is the numbers. My books weighed 2.5 oz ( 72g) each. I was able to stack 25 books which equal to almost 4 lbs ( 1,800 g)
If you try this please let me know in the comments below how many marbles you were able to support on your bridge? How many books and the weight your columns could support?
This is also called: paper column challenge, paper column experiment, strongest paper structure
or the which pillar shape is the strongest

This STEM project is a great physical learning and once you get it to work, then start to play around on different size legs or body to see if you can get it to go down faster. My longer leg animal cut the time by over 30 seconds.
Change the angle of the ramp also to see what happens.
I used a thick card stock paper, but construction paper will also work. Once again trying different types of paper to see the results.
For the measurements just stop the video and you get get them there. When you cut out your animal the 2 outside 1.5 cm pieces are legs and the middle will either be the neck or tail.
Science behind this.
The paper animal walks by rocking back and forth on its angled feet. As the animal/cat rocks from one foot to the other, gravity pulls the feet down the incline.
So it rocks to the right, and the left foot, which is no longer touching the board, moves forward. It rocks to the left, and the right foot moves forward. Depending on the angle of the ramp, could make the animal go faster. I added 3cm to my legs and cut off almost 30 seconds. Let me know what works for you.
If you can’t get your animal to walk, make sure that the legs are nice and straight. Make sure the head and tail are over the body. If you use a head, make sure it is centered as my cat kept falling to the side as I didn't have it centered at first.
Adjust the height of angle. If the animal won’t walk, make it higher. If the horse tips forward, make it lower. I used around 6 cm ramp.
If your horse is not rocking back and forth smoothly, try trimming the feet to make them rounded. Make sure you legs are even in size. You will have to play around to get it to work as it took me a couple times. Let me know if you have any questions. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you like this experiment. thx

What happens when I shine a green laser through Olive Oil?
When you think of fluorescence you think of garish paper or clothing. But plenty of fluorescence can be found in nature, You can start in your very own kitchen, with olive oil - make it glow like it's radioactive with this easy experiment.
When I shine the green laser in the Olive oil you will notice the color is different inside the Olive oil then the laser.
Science behind this.
This process called Fluorescents. Olive oil containers a bunch of organic molecules that can absorbed light one color and omit it as different color. The glow seen with in the olive oil is fluorescents.
The Chlorophyll in the oil mostly reflects green light, which is why the oil in planets are green. But the laser light is so intense the electrons in the chlorophyll molecule absorb plenty of energy anyway. The absorb light raises the electrons to a higher energy level. Its these electrons that do the work for photosynthesis. In the oil this chain is broken and the electrons from the chlorophyll molecules release the energy as red light.
What happens when..
• You use different brands of Olive oil?
• You use different colors of laser?
• When you turn on a black light you can see the olive oil absorb the UV light.

Star Wars Sounds with a Slinky works with vibration that makes the sound.
With just the slinky it doesn’t make much sound, but when we add a Styrofoam cup, it acts like a speaker and when you
gently shake the cup from side to side. You should hear the sound effects that can be similar to those heard in Star Wars!
Try bouncing the metal slinky up and down on the floor to get a sharper sound. Now using a combination wrench even adds more.
The original blaster sounds heard in the Star Wars were made by the artist Ben Burtt who repetitively hit the high tension wires of a radio mast with a wrench! These sound samples were then taken back to the studio to be eventually heard on the film’s soundtrack.
In the case of the metal slinky and the Styrofoam cup, you’re simply transferring vibrations up the slinky into the Styrofoam which also then vibrates. The metal slinky vibrates against foam and creates part of the buzz that you hear, with the rest of the sound being formed by the foam itself vibrating and the sounds echoing within the cup. the larger air space within the cup caused the sound to amplify.

Science behind it
Water molecules are polar, meaning that (they are like magnets) they have negative and positive ends. This causes water molecules to be very attracted to each other. If you remember when I placed drops on a penny, the force of attraction between the molecules overcomes the force of gravity and the water builds up like a dome on the penny. I think I was able to put 30 drops of water on the penny. The same thing happens in the glass, with the surface changing from flat at the rim to a rounded dome on top, and at some point if you have enough paperclips the water will break its surface tension and spill out.
Water is a polar molecule. The oxygen side of the molecule has a partially negative charge
The hydrogens, on the other side, have a partially positive charge. As a result, water molecules form hydrogen bonds, interacting as shown with the dome on top of the glass of water.
When molecules bond its called Cohesion and there is a lot of Cohesion in water.

How it works:
You need a washers, a pencil, a coffee cup or washers, and about 25" to 30" of string. Tie one end of the string to the cup and the other to the washers. Hold the pencil in one hand and drape the string over it so the cup hangs down a short distance. Hold the washers with your other hand (arm stretched out to the side), slightly below the level of the pencil. When you let go of the washers, will the cup fall and crash into the floor?
When you let go of the washers, it falls down in an arc about the washers. At the same time, the cup accelerates downward, reducing the radius of the washers arc dramatically. As the washers spirals inward around the pencil, its velocity increases rapidly (conservation of angular momentum) and it very quickly winds around the pencil several times. It takes only three or four windings around the pencil to stop the cup from falling any further. The friction between the string and pencil increases exponentially with the number of windings.
Vary the length of the string.
Try coffee cup, metal washers to tie to the ends of your string.
Can you figure out the best ratio of washers?
Let us know in the comments below what your ratio was and worked or didn't work.
What works better? A finger? A pencil?
Does this work every time? Why?

Special thanks to Carson, Greyson and Parker for helping me make this video. Look forward making many more videos with you guys. Thanks Ken
The Energy Stick has two silver rings on each end. When you grab both silver rings it will begin to light up with flashing lights and sound off with a siren. When you take one of your hands off it will got silent.
The Energy Stick teaches you about experimenting with open and closed circuits. What object conducts electricity and more.
How it works?
When you touch both silver rings with your hands (skin) you have turned your body into a circuit. With both hands (skin) touching at the same time, tiny negative charges called electrons flow on your skin around your body from one end of the Energy Stick to the other. The flashing lights and buzzing sound are telling you that your body (skin) is a conductor of electricity.
Circuit
Circuits are the private pathway for electrons. A circuit allows electrons to flow continuously in only one direction at a time from the starting point through the circuit and back to the starting point.
The Energy Stick's sensing circuit is to sensitive that it can detect even a very small amount of electricity that travels across your skin. It is completely safe and it's a totally fun way to learn about conductors of electricity.
FUN FACT
The students of Coulson Tough Elementary School in Woodlands, Texas set a Guiness World record for the worlds largest human circuit using one Energy Stick to connect 1,113 kids. We had 4, so we just missed the record.
Let us know in the comments below how many you connected?

I used a CD which has tracks but not as close together. In a DVD the tracks are even closer together, hence the deflection angles are much larger.
Try this
Change the angle?
Try different types of lights.
Try a CD and then DVD
All light is made up of a mixture of the colors of the rainbow. You can split these colors using a CD which will reflect different colors of light in different directions. If you look at different different parts of the CD the light will have bent at different angles so you see different colors.
Science behind it
Why does a CD reflect rainbow colors?
Like water drops in falling rain, the CD separates white light into all the colors that make it up. The colors you see reflecting from a CD are interference colors, like the shifting colors you see on a bubble or an oil in water.
You can think of light as as being made up of waves, like the waves in the ocean. When light waves reflect off the ridges on your CD, they overlap and interfere with each other. Sometimes the waves add together, making certain colors brighter, and sometimes they cancel each other, taking certain colors away.
Why do the different types of light appear different?
Although an energy saving bulb and a conventional bulb both look white they are actually made up of a different mixture of colors. The spectrum of the conventional bulb is made up of all the colors of the rainbow, but the spectrum of the energy saving lightbulb is made up of several individual wavelengths of light with virtually nothing in between.

Special thanks to Luca Terenzi and Matteo Baschieri students from Polytechnic University of Milan for sharing their findings and results. They were challenge by the University to solve a physic problem for the International Physicists' Tournament". You can get more information on the International Physicists' Tournament (IPT) here (iptnet.info)
and Polytechnic University of Milan ( https://www.polimi.it/en/)
They were searching for internet for others that have done this experiment and found my youtube video. They contacted me to see what other information I had. My experiments are very low key and don't dive to deep into the physics, so I was not much help, but when they finished their experiment Cumulative Cannon they share it with me and I was blown away with their findings and results. One of the things I loved most is I didn't know that the swirl the glass before dropping it helped the ball launch higher and that the Ping pong ball sinks in the water after you drop it. They were kind enough to join a Zoom meeting from Italy and share their finding and results.
Here is my experiment I did back 2017 Ping Pong BLAST OFF!

Let chicken bone dry for a couple days.
Pour Vinegar into a cup or jar and add bone
Let it sit for 5 to 7 days.
Dry off very good
and now you should be able to bend the chicken bone.
Science Behind it
Vinegar is a acid, its a mild acid, but it is strong enough to dissolve the calcium in the bone. Once the calcium is dissolved, there is nothing to keep the bone hard – all that is left is the soft bone tissue. Now you know why your mom is always trying to get you to drink milk – the calcium in milk goes to our bones to make our bones stronger.
I hope you enjoyed this experiment. thanks for watching

Does air have weight?
This fun & easy experiment will test to see air does have weight. Set up a stand (I used a tripod) and a yard stick. I drilled a hole in the middle of the yardstick and 1" (3cm) from each side. Then placed a paper clip on each end. Then blew up 2 balloons and hung them on the paper clips. I had to blow a couple different balloons up so the weight was close to the same. Once I had the weight the same, I cut the top of one orange balloon (by the knot) and air started to come out. This made it look like the orange balloon that was cut (loosing air) was heavier, but it was the air escaping causing pressure pushing the orange balloon down and was misleading.
Final results air does have weight!
Once all the air was out of the orange balloon, the blue balloon (with air) show that air does have weight. Very cool.
Let me know in the comments below if you try this experiment. I used 9" balloons, so you can try larger balloons to see if its a bigger difference. thanks for watching Ken
