"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys today I have a special guest with me Dan mckel hi you might recognize her from The Wonder Years or Dancing with the Stars she's also the New York Times best-selling author of educational books like kiss my math when we have playdates Danica always does really easy and fun science experiments that the boys love so today she's going to show us three amazing ones that you can do at home with your kids I'm Brooke and I'm passionate about making beautiful things for my family on a budget first up we're going to make a really cool homemade lava lamp awesome all you're going to need to get started is an empty plastic container with an inch to 2 Ines of water in the bottom some vegetable oil food coloring and Alka-Seltzer first we're going to fill up the bottle almost all the way with the oil next we add a little food coloring because food coloring is more dense than oil it will break through the oil and join the water oh there it goes looks so pretty yeah yeah it does now for the fun part we add the Alka salser oh can I do the honors yes okay is anything happening oh it's happening this is so awesome isn't it cool I can't believe how well this works the bubbles are attached to green food coloring as they come up then the the bubble bursts and then the food coloring goes back down and creates a convection and it looks really really cool really really cool that's the bottom line that's really cool my favorite part yeah and my contribution to this project add a little glitter for some extra Sparkle next we're going to make a non neonian fluid which is basically a really cool goop that changes when you touch it all you're going to need to get started is cornstarch water and food coloring is optional I'm using 1 and 1/2 cups of cornstarch and a half a cup of water but really it just needs to be 3 to one if you want to use food coloring this is a good time to add it so it mixes more evenly all right now we mix them together that's all this is you'll feel that it's pretty hard down below where it's just a cornstarch just takes a minute to get it all mixed together I like to use a spoon to help mix it too it looks so pretty I love the color once you're done it should look like this a liquid right yeah try poking it oh my gosh isn't that wild whoa that is weird yeah okay but now try putting your finger in really slowly really slowly oh my gosh this is so weird it's like slime now it's almost like a slime texture it's like a liquid so like why how does this work what's happening okay so corn starch molecules are a lot bigger than the water molecules which are like little balls and so when you move slowly they can slide around each other and your finger can get in but if you go really fast then the water molecules all run out and you're basically hitting solid cornstarch can't wait to show this to Lincoln I feel like kids will love this yes and here's something else you can do take a spoon grab some out and then like make a ball feels like solid then as it sits in your hand it'll start to melt look look at the edges that's so cool this is like my new favorite thing this is so easy to make and a great way to introduce your kids to science oo and finally we have a super easy super colorful milk and soap experiment all you're going to need is some whole milk dish soap food coloring and Q-tips just add the milk to any baking dish you want about an inch deep layer of milk all right now we're going to add the food coloring and it looks really pretty to put a few drops to together of different colors right in the center okay now the fun part take a Q-tip okay put it in dish soap like that yep get some on there and then just touch the colors anywhere you want I'm excited whoa isn't that pretty all right so you know when you're doing the dishes and dish soap breaks up fat and grease right same thing is happening here there's fat in the milk and the dish soap breaks up and dissolves that fat and the food coling just shows us what's happening that's so cool so gorgeous and you can even put the colors farther away from each other and use different Q-tips for each color it's beautiful as the colors Bloom and then and then they start to mix by col all right Danica thank you so much for showing us these amazing experiments don't forget to click on the description for all
