    Fire Tornado – Cool Science Demo

    Check out this and other cool science demos at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiments/ When you picture a tornado, most of us imagine a whirling column of air poking down from the clouds. But this tornado-like effect is not limited to just the air. A fire tornado or fire whirl is just like a tornado but it’s made of fire. As the heated air from the fire rises, strong air currents (often whipping through the trees) cause the air molecules to spin (often referred to as angular or rotational momentum) which shapes the flame into the shape of a tornado.

    Tea Bag Rockets – Cool Science Experiment

    The Tea Bag Rocket is really an adaptation of a classic science demonstration called the Ditto Paper Rocket. Each piece of Ditto paper had a sheet of tissue paper that separated the two-part form, and it was this discarded piece of paper that kids used to make the “rocket.” Since Ditto paper is a thing of the past, science teachers found a simple replacement – a tea bag. Watch the video and see the floating ball of ashes.

    Science of the Olympics – Cool Science Experiments

    Check out this and other cool science experiments at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiments/ I cant help but be amazed by the high-tech science that were seeing at this years Summer Olympics. The name of the game in so many of the sports is to reduce any opposing resistance. In some instances, the athlete can actually use other competitors to block the wind (drafting in cycling). What does any of this have to do with floating beach balls and flying toilet paper? That fast-moving air flowing around the object creates an area of lower pressure and gives the athlete an advantage. Thanks Bernoulli.

Once you’ve mastered the Spinning Penny demo, you’ll need to move Netwon’s Waiter Tray – a spinning tray of glasses. As you’ll see in this video, everything went just fine until the spinning waiter’s tray accidentally hit the lady’s leg… and then the demo turned into flying glasses of water!
