Pour cooking oil into a glass, add some water, drop in a bit of food coloring, toss in an effervescent tablet, wait a moment, and you'll see a spectacular simulated volcano eruption. Mix sugar and dish soap in a cup, stir well and you can blow bouncy unbreakable bubbles. Give it a try yourself. Put an egg in white vinegar, soak it for a day and night then take it out. Rinse the surface and you'll have a translucent elastic century egg. If you put a ping pong ball in water, it floats normally. But place it at the bottom of a funnel. Pour in water and you'll find the ball doesn't float up. No matter how you bend memory metal once it's placed in hot water. It instantly returns to its original shape. Add fine sand to a plate. Pour in some alcohol. Sprinkle a 4 to 1 mix of sugar and baking soda. Light it up and a mysterious substance rises from the ground. That's the famous pharaoh serpent. The power of science is mighty. The last one will blow your mind. Roll paper into a tilted tube in a glass, light the top end and watch ghostly white smoke flow downwards. Just one thin paper towel can seal water in a bottle. Draw a circle around an ant with a pen. It's trapped as if by invisible walls unable to escape. Why is that? Fill a straw with water, bridge it between 2 cups and watch water flow to the empty cup until balanced. That's the common siphon effect. Got leftover gum, shape it into a cone. When it's not looking, grab a coconut and smash it hard, the coconut cracks open. That's the power of non-netonian fluids. It's tough to pierce a potato with a straw but cover one end with your thumb and it'll go right through. That's the power of connect two keys with thin wire. Touch them to a battery's terminals, you've got a homemade electric hot knife. Another exam of Ohms Law. Rub a glass on the mouth of a beer bottle, give it a hard tap, and a spectacular mushroom cloud rises inside. That's a chain reaction gone wild. This isn't magic. These are real scientific mini experiments. Set a syringe filled with water between two clear bottles. Shine a laser pointer through the water droplet at the bottom and you'll see the microscopic world. That's the principle behind microscopes. With just a cotton string, you can siphon water to another empty cup. That a principle of absorption. Wet a paper towel on a glass plate, place a candle in the middle, cover with a cup. After the candle goes out, add four cups of water, it can still be lifted. That's the power of atmospheric pressure. Use the foil from a cigarette pack on a battery's terminals. You've made a lighter. Another application of Om's law. A card suspended in air can't support heavy objects but fill it with water and it gains load bearing strength. Cut a potato into three small cubes. Pierce them with two picks. You've made a fun balancing bird. That's the principle of moment equally. Don't toss that take out box yet. Cut it into four isosiles trapezoids. Glue them together as shown in the video. Place it on your phone playing a 3D video. Oh. And you've made a simple naked eye 3 D projector. That's right. Stick a magnet to the bottom of a battery. Place a copper coil on top. The coil spins rapidly. That's how electric motors work. Take the super absorbent polymer from a diaper. Put it in a cup. Add water and watch it expand rapidly. Now you have fun, stress relieving artificial snow.
