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.
