Hooked On Science – Foamy Fir

“It’s a mind-blowing science experiment ONLY I “Mr. Science” can do! It can be dangerous, I want to make sure you and the family are safe, but you can discover safe holiday science experiments at hookedonscience.org. Check it out, I have an old ceramic Christmas tree, underneath it, I am about to mix two ingredients that will create a chemical reaction. It will give me something new, a whole bunch of foam that will spray out of all of these little holes. Let’s make the experiment happen, which means I need to put on my face shield, since the foam can spray everywhere. Here we go, mix the ingredients together and it gives off a whole bunch of heat. We call that an exothermic reaction. You can get safe holiday science experiments at hookedonscience.org. For Hooked on Science, I’m Jason Lindsey.”

SCIENCE SAFETY
PLEASE follow these safety precautions when doing any science experiment.
• ALWAYS have an adult present.
• ALWAYS wear the correct safety gear while doing any experiment.
• NEVER eat or drink anything while doing any experiment.
• REMEMBER experiments may require marbles, small balls, balloons, and other small parts. Those objects could become a CHOKING HAZARD. Adults are to perform those experiments using these objects. Any child can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Keep uninflated or broken balloons away from children.
