Mentos Ice Cube Prank – The Hoax!
It’s an e-mail that probably showed up in your inbox… Create an Exploding Drink! The prank is based on the widely known phenomenon of dropping MENTOS® chewy mints into soda to create an erupting geyser. Instead of just dropping the Mentos into soda, the pranksters suggest freezing a Mento in the middle of an ice cube. Serve your friend a refreshing soda drink and garnish with the tainted ice cubes. When the ice cube melts, the Mento is exposed and the soda erupts everywhere. Great idea, right? Readers of the Boing Boing blog suggest that it’s a hoax… but no one out of the 600 plus people who posted a comment bothered to try it. We turned Steve Spangler loose to find out if it really works. http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/mentos-mix-an-exploding-drink-hoax

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.

St. Patrick’s Day Science – Making Gold Pennies
Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/gold-pennies Theres just something strange about a gold penny. First of all, gold pennies dont exist unless youre a 20th-century alchemist who knows something about the science of alloys. Modern day alchemists, cleverly disguised as chemistry teachers, often share the secret of making gold pennies. Students take home an unforgettable lesson in alloys and a keepsake penny that can never be put back into circulation even though its a gold penny, the US Treasury has a little problem with people buying something with gold pennies.

Instant Freeze – Soda Ice
Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/instant-freeze-soda-ice It might have happened to you… You put a bottle of soda in the freezer for a few minutes just to get it ice cold. When you take the soda out of the freezer, it’s still a liquid (nothing unusual has happened just yet). However, the second you twist off the cap, the soda instantly freezes! The process is amazing to watch… but it’s a real bummer if you were thirsty (because it’s tough to suck ice out of the bottle). This is a great illustration of how carbon dioxide can lower the freezing point of water. Get some ice, some salt and some plastic bottles of soda water and try this very cool science demo.

Money Blender – Iron in a Dollar Bill
U.S. dollar bills are printed with special inks that contain traces of iron and other magnetic material in an effort to prevent counterfeiting. So, the only logical question that follows is, “Can you get the iron out of a dollar bill?” Steve Spangler accepted the challenge with the help of his friend, Bob Becker, who found a most unusual way to extract the iron from a dollar bill. You’ll be amazed at how much iron is in a single dollar bill.

Bursting Water Pipe
Water is a very unique liquid. Unlike almost every other substance in the world, water actually expands when it freezes.
