00:01 The experiments you will see
00:02 have been carefully done by professionals, 00:04 and should not be tried at home without parental guidance. 00:06 Please follow the caution signs throughout this program. 00:32 Hey kids? 00:33 Welcome to Creation is Science, 00:36 where we learn lessons about our Creator 00:38 through fun and exciting experiments. 00:41 I am excited to see what you have in store for us. 00:43 I don't see anything on the set. 00:45 Do we have to go outside? 00:46 Yeah, I think we'll get better, because it's gonna be messy. 00:49 Oh, boy! 00:50 But let me introduce my crew over here. 00:53 We have, of course, Professor Roy 00:55 and we have Nathan, Hannah, Yana, and Ethan, right? 01:01 Are you ready? Yes. 01:03 What are we doing today? 01:05 Well, you know, it's a neat science experiment. 01:07 And almost everybody has seen this before 01:09 and it's called the Mentos and the soda pop experiment. 01:13 Have you ever seen that or heard about it? 01:14 I've done it! Yeah. 01:16 Well, let me ask you a quick question. 01:18 Do you think it's a chemical reaction 01:20 as why it happens 01:21 or do you think it's a physical reaction? 01:23 What do you think? Chemical reaction. 01:24 I think they know too. 01:26 Let's go test that out. 01:28 We're gonna find out. 01:29 All right, let's go. 01:30 Are you ready? Yes. 01:32 All right. Let's go find out. 01:33 Time to join us. Let's go. 01:38 It's a beautiful day and we're outside. 01:40 So we're ready. 01:42 Are you ready, Professor Roy? 01:44 We're ready. We're ready. 01:45 Yay! 01:46 It looks like we got some drinks, right? 01:48 Yeah. 01:49 That's interesting, here feel that, 01:51 feel how, how tight, is that tight and hard? 01:52 Is that tight and hard? Is this tight and hard? Okay. 01:55 The question is 01:56 why does it feel tight and hard? 01:58 Pressure. Pressure. That's right. 01:59 So there's pressure inside. 02:00 So what makes pressure inside drinks like this? 02:02 What do you think? 02:04 Carbon dioxide. 02:06 Carbon dioxide. That's interesting. Isn't it? 02:07 So they put carbon dioxide in drinks. 02:10 Why do they put carbon dioxide in drinks anyways? 02:14 What does it do for it? Keep it fresh. 02:15 What? To keep it fresh. 02:16 Keep it fresh and it makes it taste how? 02:19 Good. Good and bubbly, right? 02:21 Yeah. Okay. 02:22 So if you want Kool-Aid, 02:24 does Kool-Aid have carbon dioxide in it? 02:25 No. No. 02:26 There's no fizzy in Kool-Aid. 02:28 Now what we're gonna do right here, hey, what? 02:29 Can you open that for me real slow? 02:31 Now, listen carefully. 02:32 Keep going, keep going. 02:35 Did you hear that? Yeah. 02:36 Did you hear that shhh? Carbon dioxide. 02:38 Right, the carbon dioxide was coming out of the liquid. 02:41 Now, that's interesting. Isn't it? 02:42 So let's take it all the way, all the way loose like that. 02:45 Okay. 02:46 And we'll just leave the cup here. 02:48 Now, now feel that, feel that, is it hard? 02:52 No, it's squeezy. 02:53 Look at that, 02:54 you can squeeze it because we've done what? 02:56 We've released the what? Pressure. 02:58 We've released the pressure in there. 03:00 That's interesting. 03:01 Now, carbon dioxide is very interesting 03:03 and they put it in there under a lot of pressure. 03:05 That's why it's so hard. 03:07 Today, we're talking about carbon dioxide. 03:08 Do you know that water can have dissolved oxygen in it? 03:11 Did you know that? Yeah. 03:13 Well, this liquid had what? 03:14 It had dissolved carbon dioxide in that liquid 03:17 and it came out when we did what? 03:19 Took the pressure off. That's interesting. 03:22 So what we're gonna do? 03:23 Hey, by the way, what do fish breathe? 03:25 Through gills. They breathe. They use gills. 03:27 That's the organ, 03:29 but and what do they breathe through the gills? 03:31 What does it? Carbon dioxide. 03:33 No. But keep going. Oxygen. 03:34 It's oxygen. That's right. So fish breathe oxygen. 03:37 That's interesting. 03:39 So where do they get the oxygen? 03:40 Where do you think they get oxygen from? 03:41 From the water. From the water. 03:43 Now sometimes we call water H what? 03:45 H2O. H2O. That's right. 03:47 So hydrogen is the H, right? 03:48 H2, so we have two hydrogen atoms 03:50 and we have oxygen. 03:51 The O is what? Is oxygen. 03:54 Do you think the fish breathe the O out of H2O? 03:56 Yes. Say no. 03:58 No. 03:59 No, they don't breathe the O out of H2O. 04:01 They breathe, dissolved oxygen in the water. 04:04 How cool is that? It's really. 04:06 Hey, so let's go and do an experiment 04:08 about dissolved gases in liquid. 04:10 So what we have right here, let me see, 04:12 let me put this down on the table. 04:14 And I've got a fresh bottle right here. 04:17 So what I'm gonna do is this. 04:18 I'm gonna take this 04:20 and I'm gonna take the pressure off of this. 04:22 Pardon me? 04:23 Do you want to put this down? Yeah, we can put that down. 04:25 All right. There we go. All right. 04:26 I'm gonna take this off of here. 04:28 All right. 04:29 And what I have right here, 04:31 I've got some of these little candies right here. 04:32 These are what? These are little candies. 04:34 And, in fact, let's see what we got right here. 04:37 You want one? 04:38 And you can put that in your mouth 04:40 or you can just feel it with your hands. 04:41 And it feels very, very smooth, right? 04:44 Okay. I don't want to touch it 'cause these are clean. 04:46 You got it. Okay. Here we go. 04:48 Feel how smooth that is in your hand, 04:51 or maybe even in your mouth, 04:52 but you don't have to put it in your mouth. 04:54 If you... Want me to help? 04:56 If you... Let me help. 04:57 Why don't you do that? Okay. 04:59 Why don't you do that? 05:00 I'll do that. Now, it feels smooth. 05:01 Does it feel smooth? Yes. 05:03 Okay. But you know what? 05:04 Under a microscope, you know that the Mentos candy, 05:06 it looks like the Rocky Mountains 05:07 and it's all jagged peaks of what? 05:09 Sugar. Sugar. Okay. 05:10 'Cause candy's lot a bunch of sugar. Right? 05:12 So what we're going to do is 05:13 we're going to cause the carbon dioxide, 05:16 we're gonna cause it to what we call 05:18 it's called the nucleation point. 05:21 It's a point where all of the carbon dioxide 05:24 is going to try to get together in a real big hurry. 05:27 And we're gonna make a lot, a lot of pressure. 05:29 So what I've got right here, see these, I've got my carbon, 05:31 I've got my Mentos all lit up here. 05:35 And so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to screw that on. 05:37 Okay. So make sure I get enough room. 05:39 We're gonna screw this on my bottle, right? 05:42 And I've got a magnet and a little bolt 05:44 and it's holding all of those Mentos. 05:47 So that they won't drop down into the liquid, right? 05:50 So as soon as they drop down on the liquid, 05:52 then the carbon dioxide 05:54 is going to have a nucleation point. 05:56 And all those molecules, okay, of carbon dioxide 05:59 are going to rush together 06:01 and they're gonna come out of the liquid, 06:02 we're gonna have a lot of pressure in here. 06:04 So what we have is we have a drinking fountain, right? 06:06 So here, so go ahead and grab a glass 06:09 and just hold it just underneath. 06:11 Okay. 06:12 And somebody's gonna have to help me 06:13 with this one over here. 06:15 Hold it up a little more like that. 06:16 You got them like there. Okay. 06:18 We're gonna give a countdown. 06:19 The countdown goes three, two, and one. 06:20 I'm gonna pull the magnet off. 06:22 The Mentos is gonna drop down in there. 06:23 We're gonna have a soda fountain. 06:25 Are you ready? Yes. 06:26 All right. Okay. 06:28 Count and let's go, three, two, one. 06:30 Let's get this out of the way. 06:31 Whoa! 06:35 How cool is that? 06:37 Isn't that interesting? Yes. 06:39 That's interesting. Now, did we do any work? 06:42 No. Yeah, we did some work. 06:44 I filled those glasses up with a drink. 06:46 Hey, let's have some more fun with this. 06:48 Go and put those down. 06:49 So let's see what we've got right here. 06:51 Let's check this thing out right here. 06:53 Okay. Let's see what we've got. 06:54 So what I have, I'm gonna turn this to this side. 06:56 What I have is I've got a little toy car right here. 06:59 We got some bottle. 07:00 We got a bottle and all we need to do, 07:02 is we've got to find the nucleation point. 07:05 So look at all these Mentos that I have right here. 07:07 So what I'm gonna is 07:09 I'm gonna put this right inside of this little chamber 07:11 right here, right? 07:13 And all I have to do is I have, 07:15 if I let go of this little wire, 07:17 then the Mentos are gonna fall down 07:19 and go right into our little soda bottle, right? 07:21 Yeah. 07:23 What's gonna happen to the soda bottle car? 07:25 It's gonna pop and go all over. 07:27 Well, let's find out here. 07:28 Let's come on over here. 07:30 And we're gonna set this little car down 07:31 right about here and I want you to stand. 07:33 Can you stand about over there? Okay. 07:36 So, we're gonna be able to see how this is going to work. 07:39 Here we go. All right. 07:41 So I'm gonna go ahead. Let's see. 07:42 I think I'm gonna point it this way, right? 07:45 I'm gonna tilt it up just about like this. Okay. 07:47 And I'm gonna go ahead 07:49 and I'm going to release the pressure, 07:51 right? 07:52 If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear it. 07:53 Did you hear it? 07:55 Yeah. Cool. 07:56 All that is carbon dioxide leaving, okay? 07:58 And we're gonna put that over there, 08:00 then good catch. 08:01 All right. 08:02 I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna screw this down 08:04 on my bottle right here. 08:06 And then we're gonna have another countdown. 08:08 Remember the countdown? 08:09 Three, two, one. 08:11 That's exactly right. 08:12 Okay. Let's see. 08:14 Let's get this in tighter and tighter and tighter. 08:16 Okay. Here we go. And let's see. 08:18 I think we want it to go that way, don't we? 08:20 Yes. Okay. All right. 08:22 Sometimes you get a little bit wet doing this. 08:25 Right, here we go. So give me a countdown. 08:27 Three, two, one. 08:30 Let's put it down. Here we go. 08:32 Whoa! 08:35 Whoa! 08:36 It went so fast and it turned over. 08:38 Isn't that interesting? Yes. 08:40 Cool. Hey, we'll come back over here. 08:41 Come back over here. Let's check on it right here. 08:43 That was amazing. 08:45 Did you see that? Yes. 08:46 Now, did we do any work? 08:48 Yes. 08:49 We did some work, didn't we? No. 08:51 Now, who do you think? 08:52 Who do you think put oxygen in water? 08:56 God. That's right. 08:57 But it's dissolved oxygen, isn't it? 08:59 Now how many have ever had a fish? 09:02 Have you ever had a fish? A pet fish? 09:03 Yes. 09:04 What kind of fish did you have? Betta. 09:06 A betta fish. 09:07 Now, does a betta fish need oxygen? 09:09 Yes. 09:10 It needs oxygen, does it? 09:12 You know how about, you know, some fish need an aerator, 09:14 they need something 09:16 that's going to put dissolved oxygen in the water 09:18 because they need more oxygen in the water, right? 09:21 Like a lot of tropical fish need that? 09:23 Interesting. 09:24 But you know, the fish just breathe the O out of the H2O? 09:28 No. 09:29 No, they breathe the what? 09:30 The dissolved oxygen in the water. 09:33 Now if you have a little fish tank, right? 09:37 And it has a surface on it, it has a surface on it. 09:41 Well, there's oxygen being what? 09:44 Oxygen it goes into the water through that surface, right? 09:48 And that's enough for bettas, right? 09:50 And it's enough for goldfish, 09:52 but it's not enough for some of the tropical fish 09:54 'cause they need a lot of dissolved oxygen. 09:56 And that's why you have to have an aerator, right? 09:58 Something to put those little bubbles 10:00 in dissolved oxygen in there. 10:02 That is cool. 10:03 Is that cool? Yes. 10:04 That's interesting. 10:06 Hey, and you know, water is very important for us. 10:07 We've got to have a lot of water every day 10:10 and we need a lot of oxygen every day, too, don't we? 10:13 You know, that most of the oxygen that we have 10:15 comes from the water, did you know that? 10:17 No. 10:18 We've got a lot of plants that are in the water 10:20 around the whole world, 10:21 and that's what releases oxygen into the air. 10:24 And plus the trees that are around us 10:25 and it's putting what? 10:26 Oxygen back into the air, 10:28 and God has done that all automatically. 10:30 Isn't that cool? Yes. 10:31 We don't even have to think about that. 10:33 How about that? 10:34 Hey, did you like that little toy car? 10:36 Yeah. Yeah. 10:37 It went so fast and it got out of control. 10:38 It went on its side. 10:40 We had a little accident with that toy car. 10:42 So what do we know about dissolved oxygen? 10:46 Can it be in liquids? Yes. 10:47 It sure can. 10:49 And look, it all came out of that soda pop, 10:50 isn't that interesting? 10:52 It reminds me of when God is talking 10:54 about the breath of life, 10:55 He is the breadth of life and He gives us the air 10:58 that we need and to breathe, right? 11:00 I like that. Thank you. 11:02 Let's go. Head back inside. 11:05 Wow! That was a lot of fun. 11:06 Did you have fun with that one? Yes. 11:08 I never got to do the Mentos experiment 11:11 quite like that. 11:13 That was kind of a different way of doing that. 11:14 Thank you. Little messy, was it? 11:15 It was messy, 11:17 but at least we didn't get our jackets dirty. 11:18 So I'm thankful for that. No, that's good, isn't it? 11:20 Yeah. 11:21 So was it a chemical reaction or a physical reaction? 11:26 It was a physical. 11:27 It was a physical reaction, 11:29 but everybody thinks it's a chemical reaction, 11:31 but we didn't change things 11:32 into something different, did we? 11:34 No, we didn't. That's interesting. 11:35 And, but we did something with that carbon dioxide gas 11:39 and what did we do with it? 11:41 We let it out. 11:42 We let it out really fast, didn't we? 11:43 Yeah. That's right. 11:45 And that's something that what's called the nucleation, 11:46 right? 11:47 A nucleation, those little candies, 11:49 the little candies presented a nucleation point 11:52 for the little tiny carbon dioxide molecules 11:55 to gather around. 11:57 And they gathered around by the thousands of them 11:58 and created a tremendous amount of pressure. 12:01 And that's what we were seeing was a physical reaction, 12:04 wasn't chemical at all. 12:06 But most people are wrong 12:08 when they think it's a chemical reaction, 12:10 but you know better, don't you? 12:12 How that reminds me of a story 12:14 about somebody that wasn't quite truthful 12:16 and almost like misleading. 12:20 Do you think of any story in the Bible about that? 12:23 Yes. Go ahead. Tell me, Nathan. 12:25 Ananias and Sapphira. 12:27 Ananias and Saphira, 12:28 would you please read Acts, I believe. 12:31 Do you remember what verse was? 12:32 It was five. 12:34 Was it five? 12:36 Acts 5:4, let's see. 12:39 I want... let's... 12:40 Because remember, what were they doing? 12:42 What were they doing in the story? 12:44 They were selling. 12:45 They said, "Oh, we sold everything of our land." 12:49 They had money behind their back. 12:51 And they were hiding it. 12:52 Oh! 12:54 And what did Peter say? Can you read that for us? 12:57 While it remained, was it not your own? 13:00 And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? 13:03 Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? 13:05 You have not lied to men but to God." 13:08 We want to be truthful 13:09 in everything that we do, right? 13:10 Yeah. 13:12 They were giving and sometimes things in science, I... 13:16 Yes, things appear. 13:17 And you know, I have to remember a time 13:19 when I was told that, 13:22 you know, dinosaurs may have lived 13:24 at a different time or didn't live 13:26 or before they didn't even exist. 13:28 But now we know dinosaurs exists, right? 13:30 Yeah. 13:32 Yeah, we know, and science may change, 13:33 but whose word never changes, no matter what? 13:37 God. 13:38 God's Word never changes. 13:40 His Word, the Bible is always true. 13:43 We can always depend on God. 13:45 Aren't you thankful for that? Yes. 13:47 I am so thankful that we can depend on God 13:50 and that we want His Word to live in our hearts 13:53 and always be truthful. 13:54 Yes. 13:55 Do you agree? Yes. 13:57 I surely want to live for Jesus. 13:58 Don't you wanna live for Jesus? Yes. 14:00 And watch what we say, 14:02 so we can see God's creation all around us 14:06 because creation is? 14:07 Science. 14:09 Yay! 14:10 Bye. |
