This video is a step-by-step guide to creating two science experiments: a baking soda and vinegar volcano, and a rock candy making process.
The hosts start by pretending to build a volcano using baking soda and vinegar. They mix the ingredients in a water bottle and pretend to throw the resulting "lava" out of the bottle. The hosts then decide to make a real volcano, asking for help from their friend Peck. They use a large box as the base, and then build the volcano using paper mache. They paint the volcano and add "lava" made from hot glue and colored laundry detergent.
Next, they demonstrate how to make rock candy at home. They prepare a "sugar water" solution, pour it into jars, and then add colored sugar to form the rock candy crystals. After the candy has dried and been removed from the jars, they taste the resulting rock candies.
Finally, they discuss the science behind both experiments. For the volcano, they explain how baking soda and vinegar can react to form carbon dioxide gas, which creates the "explosion" effect. For the rock candy, they explain how the sugar solution crystallizes as it cools, forming the rock candy.
1. The experiment starts with a "soda and vinegar" science experiment, where baking soda is placed in a water bottle, and food coloring is added to vinegar. The mixture is then poured into the water bottle.
2. The experiment is later transformed into a volcano building project, using a large box, baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring. The box is cut down to size and used as the base for the volcano.
3. The center of the volcano is constructed using a bottle and a cup. The bottle is used to hold the ingredients for the lava, while the cup is used to create a perfect size for the center of the volcano.
4. The volcano is then coated with gray paint to give it a volcanic appearance.
5. The lava for the volcano is created using orange and yellow paint to give it a molten rock appearance.
6. The experiment then moves onto creating rock candy at home using sugar and water. The sugar and water are poured into jars to grow individual rock candies.
7. The rock candy is then created by adding water and sugar to a bowl and cooking it until the sugar dissolves fully in the water. The sugar solution is then poured into jars and allowed to cool and crystallize.
8. The final part of the experiment involves creating a rock paper scissors machine. The machine is constructed using cardboard, glue, rubber bands, sticks, and straight lines.
9. The machine is then completed by adding paper towels as the reels, which spin to determine the outcome of the game.
