It's Science Wow!

Today we're going to see if we can use water and science to make ice form on command.

Welcome to impossible science.

♪♪ Oh, hey, everyone, it's Jason Latimer, world champion of magic, to you with another Impossible Science.

Now today's topic, Super Cooling.

Super cooling is when a liquid drops below its freezing point, but it's still a liquid.

A lot of people think that water freezing point is zero degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

But that just means at that point it can turn to ice, but doesn't mean it has to be ice.

Imagine you're in a valley where the valley represents the liquid state, and you would be happier in the lower valley, which represents the ice state.

But between you and that lower valley, there is a mountain.

To make it from one seed to another, you would have to put in energy to hike up and over that mountain barrier before arriving at the lower ice valley.

The position you're in is the same as the water molecules in pure water.

As the temperature is lowered below zero degrees Celsius, the water molecules want to be in the lower valleys.

But the mountain represents the energy barrier needed from them to go from liquid to ice.

However, we can reduce the size of this barrier between liquid and ice, either by lowering the temperature even more or adding an impurity to the water such as dust, or even adding acid crystals to start the crystallization process.

Having any one of these to our situation would be like shrinking down the mountain barrier, or in some cases they could act like a catalyst, tunneling through the mountain to reach the lower ice melt.

Okay, now that we understand super cooling, the idea of freezing water on command becomes totally possible.

And this is a bottle of supercooled water.

We can tell because the air pocket in there that this is still liquid.

And I'm being really gentle with it because to keep that nucleation event, all you have to do is strike the bottle.

Freezing on command in three, two, one.

[ Laughs ] Isn't that crazy?

Oh, you can see it just going all the way down.

How cool is that?

It froze was so fast the bubbles got caught inside the ice.

That is awesome.

♪♪ Let me show you how to do this.

First thing you want to do is get pure water.

Then you need to put it in your freezer.

I've seen a lot of people try to do this at home and they never know when their bottle is actually super cool, but there's a trick to that.

Take another one of those bottles, but fill it up with tap water and put the tap water, which has impurities in it, in the freezer next to the bottle with pure water in it.

The impure water will actually freeze faster, so when that's a block of ice and the other one is still liquid, then you know, the bottle with the pure water in it is super cool.

And then you're ready to go.

It looks like magic.

We just made an impossible topic of freezing an object on command, and we made it possible through science.

And until next time, stay curious, because the right question changes everything.

Music, dance, magic and more.

Write on.

Today, we're going to be talking about suspense.

Ooh.

Hey, Sherry, what's suspense?

Oh, let me show you.

Light cue.

[ Light clicks ] Once there was a library that was open all night.

The bookshelves were covered in dust... [ Insects chirping ] and the air was icy cold.

[ Coughing ] One night, a story pirate named Justin walked in at midnight/ When he picked up a book, it started dripping something gooey and purple.

No, Sherry, I can't take it anymore.

You have to tell me what happens next.

What was the purple stuff?

Why was it gooey?

Exactly.

Didn't it leave you in suspense?

Suspense is what we call it when a story leaves the reader on the edge of their seat, and they have to find out what happens next.

We see it all the time in mystery, thriller, even scary stories.

But, Sherry, how did you do that?

Oh, it was really easy.

I followed a few steps.

Do you want to try one together?

Yes, I'm totally in.

Step one, write a sentence that introduces a setting.

A setting is where the story takes place.

Hmm, okay.

I think I'm ready.

[ Light clicks ] There once was an aquarium on the edge of a cliff.

Sherry: Cool setting.

Okay.

Step two, use your five senses to tell us more details about the setting.

What does this place look like?

Smell like?

Sound like?

Feel like?

Even taste like?

The sparkling tanks smelled of glass cleaner, and you could hear the plop, plop of the bubbles coming out of the water.

Sherry: Great.

Step three, add something weird or surprising that will make your reader say, "What is that?"

Justin: A story pirate named Sherry looked into the tank, and she saw something swimming towards her, shimmering and singing her name.

♪ Sherry ♪ ♪ Sherry Ahh!

Justin, I can't take it any more.

What is that?

Suspense.

Nice.

Hey, Zach.

Ready to rock?

Ready to roll.

Arts and crafts?

Yes, please.

Let's get artsy.

Welcome back to Make a Splash Day on Camp TV.

There are many ways to make a splash in this world.

And for some, they do it through their art.

Have you ever heard of an American artist named Jackson Pollock?

Jackson Pollock is best known for his unique style of painting and is considered a master of modern art.

He used a technique called action painting.

Instead of carefully applying paint to a piece of canvas on an easel, he would put his canvas on the floor and fling, drip and splash paint on it.

He used all sorts of materials to paint, not just a regular old paint brush.

Sounds like fun.

Should we try?

I like to call this roll with it painting.

And here's what you need.

Some marbles, washable paint paper and a baking pan with sides that your adult says it's okay to use.

Place a piece of paper in a baking pan with a few small blobs of paint.

♪♪ Put a marble or six in the pan and roll and shake it until you make a design that you like.

♪♪ Here we go.

♪♪ Good.

♪♪ I like that.

If you don't have marbles, you can try to use some pebbles or just tip blobs of paint from side to side.

Once it's dry, remove the paper and you'll have your very own Jackson Pollock inspired piece of art.

♪♪ Ready for some math that counts.

Count On.

Hi, everyone.

My name's Norah, and today I'm going to show you how to do a water race.

I've set up one bowl full of water on one side of the yard and one empty bowl on the other side.

And my goal is to run back and forth between them and use this cup to fill up the empty bowl from the full one.

We're going to use a timer to see how long it takes me and then subtraction to see what the fastest way to do it is.

Let's go.

On your mark, get set, go.

♪♪ ♪♪ Yes!

Stop the timer.

My timer shows 35.9 seconds for running between buckets.

I'm going to round that up to 36 seconds.

Now let's try it again, but this time I'm going to skip instead of run.

On your mark, get set, go.

♪♪ ♪♪ Done.

Stop the timer.

My timer shows it took me 39.75 or almost 40 seconds just to get between the buckets.

Now that I have my two times, I can subtract the smaller number from the bigger number to see how much faster I was.

So I'm going to take my bigger number, 40 seconds, which was skipping, and I'm going to subtract my smaller number 36 seconds while running.

So 36, I can count up to 40 to find the difference.

37, 38, 39, 40.

So four seconds faster while running than skipping.

You can try this at home, too.

Race a friend or race yourself like I did.

See how many different ways to move you can try between the two bowls.

Good luck.

Bye.

A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

Olivia: Fish come in all shapes and sizes, from small fish to medium fish to large fish.

And did you know that sharks are fish, too?

No matter their size or shape, they always seem to be on the go, constantly propelling themselves through the water so they can get through their day.

In fact, they burn a lot of energy.

Swimming, chasing food items, finding a partner, defending themselves from predators and competing for space.

A day in the life of a fish can be quite exhausting.

But what do we do when we get exhausted?

We have a sleep.

It's the perfect way to recharge your batteries, conserve your energy and replenish your brain function.

[ Alarm rings ] Hang on a second.

Do fish sleep?

This one comes from Jaclyn from MUSC Children's Hospital in South Carolina.

Today we are here in Sea Life Sunshine Coast to investigate.

[ Bubbles popping ] I've been watching for quite some time now, and I can't seem to find a single fish taking a nap.

I think it's time we check in with the experts on this one.

Meet Kate.

She's an Aquarius here at Sea Life Sunshine Coast.

And she looks after hundreds of fish species every day.

So tell me, Kate, do fish sleep?

Absolutely.

Everyone needs a little bit of shut eye.

But if they don't have eyelids, how can you tell if they're asleep.

Like our Whitetip reef sharks, fish just sitting over there, they're having a bit of a snooze on the ground.

And then we have like palace and our greater sharks who really just have a be the cruise and snooze around the tank.

Hmm, alright.

So some fish choose to lie down and sleep and some fish choose to have a cruise and snooze.

But did you know that there's a species of fish known as the parrotfish that secrete a mucus bubble around itself to disguise itself from predators while it sleeps?

Kind of like a mucus sleeping bag.

So how long do they sleep for?

Do they need six to eight hours like us humans?

It varies every species, depends on how active they are, what time of year it is, are they looking after babies, are they in breeding season, It just depends.

So the mums stay up at night too?

Yes, mum, stay up all the time and take care of their young.

And nighttime or daytime?

Which one do they prefer to sleep?

Some like to go hunting at night time, so obviously they'll be awake, and then the others later actually be active during the day.

So they've guys having a real daytime nap here.

They would have been awake all night.

Yes, they would have been up to no good.

Having a party all night?

They've been having a party, so they need to recover.

Wow, imagine if humans could sleep on the go.

Although I don't think that we would pull it off as effortlessly and gracefully as these guys do.

Daytime or nighttime.

It's always time for story time.

Welcome back.

Ready for just the right book read by just the right camper?

Without further ado, take it away.

Thanks, Zach.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Scarlett, and today I am reading "Splashdance" by Liz Starin.

Ursula and Ricardo We're taking a swim.

They were practicing their moves for the upcoming water ballet championship.

The prize was $1 million, so they trained and trained.

"Man, I really want to win," said Ursula.

"We can do it," said Ricardo.

"We're a team."

But one morning, they got a terrible surprise.

"New policy," said the lifeguard.

"Bears are too Hairy."

"But I'm a very clean bear," said Ursula.

"I come twice a day."

"Tough noogies," said the lifeguard.

"What about that guy?"

said Ricardo.

"Scram," said lifeguard.

"Don't worry," whispered Ursula.

"I know what to do."

The next day Ursula was ready for practice, so was Ricardo, so was Hortense.

-"Ursula, meet.

My new partner," said Ricardo.

"What?," gasped Ursula.

Ursula went home and cried for a week.

Sometimes she slunk down to the neighborhood pond.

She did her fanciest moves all alone.

Ursula wasn't a big, big funk.

One gloomy day, the pond was already occupied.

"It figures," said Ursula.

Then she looked again.

"Wow, great move," said Ursula.

"Thanks," said the bear.

"We were up for the championship and now we're stuck in this pond.

I'm Ralph."

"Your team didn't ditch you," Ursula asked.

"Of course not.

We're a team," Ralph said.

"Hmm.

I think I have an idea," said Ursula.

"May I join you?"

Ursula and her new teammates worked hard to prepare.

Soon the big day arrives, and at crowded pool entrance, there were no bears in sight.

It was a day of fierce competition.

Ricardo and Hortense performed a graceful duet.

"Okay, ladies and gerbils," said the judge.

Let's thank all the swimmers before we announce the winners of --" "Ready," bloomed.

a chorus of voices.

Let's gooooooo.

The crowd exploded.

Ursula's team staged a complicated routines with Ursula's triple banana flip as the finale.

They bowed, and they marched out.

"Well," said the judge.

Please to help me congratulate our winners, Ricardo and Hortense."

But the audience had other ideas.

Meanwhile, Ursula was steamed.

"You were so much better than those turkeys," she said.

"Why didn't we win?"

"Look," said Ralph.

We did.

Our pool, everyone welcome.

Ursula and Ralph and Hector and Lucy and Wilma and Bo were taking a swim.

They are practicing their moves for the upcoming water ballet championship.

The prize was $1 million.

So they trained and trained.
