How to Make a GAK Glacier - Science at Sea

Steve Spangler uses Gak to talk about Glaciers. Follow Steve and his team as they head to Alaska at www.ScienceAtSea.com Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Just what is this slimy, stringy, rubbery stuff? This variation on slime will probably remind you of a similar substance found in many toy stores. This is the most popular version of "slime" among teachers because it's so easy to make and serves as a great visual tool for introducing students to the properties of polymers.

How to Make Hot Ice - The Complete Guide

The complete guide to making hot ice and sodium acetate. How to create it, fix it, and use it. All methods from baking soda and vinegar to laboratory synthesis are shown.

The basis for hot ice is sodium acetate trihydrate, which is heated above its melting point and then cooled below its melting point so it's supercooled. It's still liquid and quickly solidifies when a seed crystal is introduced.

You cannot use copper pots because the vinegar seems to dissolve copper upon boiling, contaminating your product and damaging your pot.

Jelly Marbles - Clear Spheres

It looks like a ordinary glass of water... crystal clear water. But hiding just below the surface of the water are an amazing collection of large, jelly-like marbles that become invisible when submerged in water. The Jelly Marbles become invisible due to an identical index of refraction with the liquid. In other words, they vanish like magic! As you'll see, there's more to this experiment than meets the eye.

How to Make a High Power Vortex Cannon

This project was inspired by many things. Large commercially made vortex cannons are used (theoretically) to disrupt hail formation and prevent damage to farmland. German scientists during WWII also constructed a large vortex cannon designed as an anti air gun. The plan was to use a powdered fuel that would mix and ignite within the vortex ring, allowing it to increase in strength as it was fired into the clouds. The purpose in that case was to create an impact with allied aircraft powerful enough to snap the wings off. It never did see use. In a future video I may try integrating a fuel into the vortex rings just to see if the idea really had merit.

Shrinking Styrofoam Cup

The pressure cooker is Mom's secret weapon when it comes to making that savory stew in less than an hour. This amazing device is also the kitchen scientist's favorite tool for subjecting ordinary things to high pressure to see what happens. For this experiment, our subject is a Styrofoam cup. Under extremely high pressure, will the cup expand, contract, melt or turn into a cute little puppy?

Rainbow Snow - Sick Science!

We'll admit, we take a little bit of offense when someone says, "Snow only comes in white." Apparently, they've never seen the Rainbow Snow activity. If you've ever played with our Insta-Snow® powder, especially with our Color Fizzers, you know exactly how superabsorbent polymers can create a colorful blizzard of the most realistic fake snow out there.
