Burning Bubbles
We investigate the properties of two types of gas bubbles: methane gas bubbles and bubbles of the gas we breathe out. The air-filled bubbles sink and we are unable to set them alight, while the methane bubbles float upwards and are...

How to Blow a Balloon Underwater
This experiment looks simple, but a lot of science is involved here. We are making a chemical reaction to change the combined density of our bottle with a balloon. That makes it float to the top with all the heavy weight of paperclips....

Sulfur Hexafluoride - Deep Voice Gas
In one of the more memorable Spangler episodes, Spangler has a large terrarium filled with sulfur-hexafluoride gas, which is six times heavier than the air we breathe! It has some amazing properties, one of which it doesn't allow...

Egg in a Bottle...The Tricky Way - Cool Science Experiment
A teenaged Jack Spangler demonstrates how reducing air pressure in a bottle can pull a boiled egg inside. Then dad does a similar demonstration using liquid nitrogen to reduce the air pressure. Even though the result is the same, the...

Dry Ice Floating Bubble - Sick Science! #058
In this episode of "Steve Spangler Science" videos, the gas produced by the sublimation of carbon dioxide dry ice creates a nice, fluffy cushion in a bowl of water. Since it is less dense than a soap bubble and cool enough to keep it...
