Sick Science! #144 - Salt Water Density Straw
Density can be a difficult scientific property to grasp, that’s why we like making it colorful, fun, and (most importantly) simple! The Salt Water Density Straw is the epitome of kitchen science. You’ll use materials are right in your house, and with just a bit of salt, you’ll create a colorful experience that will have young scientists understanding density in moments.

Sick Science! - Exploding Bubbles
The term “burst your bubble” takes on a whole new meaning when our science guy, Steve Spangler, is invited to the play date. It’s probably safe to bet that these are no ordinary bubbles, but it’s also no ordinary problem that we’re facing with rising carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere.

Sick Science! #143 - Candy Science
M&Ms have the slogan of melting in your mouth, but not in your hands. You wanna know something cool? The special melting property is totally scientific. The results are an amazing phenomenon that we call Floating Letters.

Sick Science! #142 - Cartesian Diver
This experiment is named after Rene Descartes (1596-1650), a French scientist and mathematician. It’s a classic science experiment using an eye-dropper and a soda bottle filled with water.

Sick Science! #141 Floating Ping Pong Ball
You’ve seen Steve Spangler use blow dryers or industrial-sized blowers to levitate ping pong balls, beach balls, and send toilet paper flying through the air. You can replicate this levitating object phenomenon on a smaller scale using objects that are right in your home! The Floating Ping Pong Ball trick uses amazing principles of air that are sure to amaze anyone, from your science teacher to your parents to your neighbors!

Balancing Nails - Cool Science Experiment
You’ve seen him do lots of kitchen chemistry, but today Steve Spangler moves his laboratory to the garage. Grab a hammer and some nails and you’re ready for a very cool science puzzle.
Money in a Blender - Cool Science Experiment
While some people take President’s Day off, our science guy, Steve Spangler, was busy working on a science experiment using the Presidents. Maybe that’s why he asked Mark Koebrich to bring in some paper money… but we’re still not sure why Steve brought in a kitchen blender.

Sick Science! #132 - Static Flyer
Read the full experiment here
http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/static-flyer-flying-bagWho needs a magic wand to create levitating objects when you have a balloon? In the Static Flyer experiment, we’ll teach you how understanding certain scientific ideas can result in a trick that would make Harry Potter, Gandalf the Grey, and even Merlin jealous.
Sick Science! #131 - Stuck Like Glue
Read the full experiment here
http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/experiment/stuck-like-glue-trickA flame goes out inside of an upside down jar and, like magic, the jar is stuck to a plate. You might think that the jar has sucked right to the plate, but we’ll explain why this trick is actually a result of pushing!
Sick Science! - Pop Rocks Expander
Find out what makes the balloon expand here http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/poprocks
If you are a candy enthusiast, like a lot of the people at Spangler Labs, you know that not all candies are created equal. And, if we’re being honest, Pop Rocks are one of the greatest candies of all time! You dump a few of the tiny pebbles onto your tongue and, in an instant, they begin fizzing, popping, and snapping about in your mouth. What’s going on here? Being scientists, we devised a way to figure out the popping secret behind the famous candy. Are you ready to expand your mind (as well as a few balloons)?
Sick Science! # 127 - Sink or Swim
Mystery liquid revealed here http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/sink-or-swim-surface-tension
There are times in science where changing one variable can be the difference between fire and smoke, conducting and insulating, and in this case, sinking and swimming. In the Sink or Swim experiment, you’ll learn how adding one variable to water will change the amount of surface tension the water has. You’ll see that anything you add to water can quickly affect whether something sinks or swims.
Cool Science Experiment- Instant Freeze
While the rest of us are trying to stay warm, Steve Spangler is playing around outside trying to better understand a strange scientific phenomenon that many of you are sharing on Facebook. It’s called “Instant Freeze” and it’s happening to ordinary bottles of water.
Sick Science! # 126 - Iron for Breakfast
Click here to find out why there’s iron in cereal http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/nails-for-breakfast
The next time you’re eating a big bowl of breakfast cereal, take a closer look at the ingredients. You’ll find that it contains more than just wheat and corn. Look closely and you might find iron in your cereal… you know, the metal… the stuff used to make nails. Here’s an experiment that proves you’re eating iron for breakfast.
