Title: "Look Around You"
Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on January 26, 2009
So recently the Look Around You series has come to the US.

I'm really enjoying them all and have tried my best to reproduce the experiments. I always have my copy book at the ready as I learn each module.

This one discusses water at some depth (pun intended)

Hahaha, did you try the experiment emptying the jug into the TV set?

The bunsen experiment is wrong..

The bunson is not even lit, the water is only bubbling and steaming because there are pieces of dry ice in the beaker so it's not burns on the scientists fingers, it must be frostbite.

Hmmm they now suggest I put pure calcium in water.

Calcium would be good.

A nice big lump of Sezium would make your day get off to a more exciting start however.

The website is really brilliant... The programmer of that site is unbelievably handsome too.
