Paper burns at a much higher temperature than water boils. The water is drawing the heat energy away from the cup, so the water warns up and the cup doesn't burn 🙂

It was over the flame for quite a while, but it didn't reach boiling because the wind started blowing the candle out.

@@STEMwithMrN So my prediction was correct?

@titusjames4912 what happens is the water heats up and the cup doesn't go on fire :)

@@STEMwithMrN but eventually the candle will run out of fuel. (Or in this case heat.

Eventually, yes, the candle will run out of fuel, in this case possibly before all the water would boil away. The main point, though, is an empty paper cup over a candle will go on fire, but one with water in it won't.

Part 2 is now up in my Shorts, so you can check out what happens!

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Best to show and explain it in all its glory!

It's a fun activity to do. My classes often like repeating it.

I'm currently playing in an ice hockey tournament. I'll reply when I get home and let you know all the measurements 🙂

Always have an adult present when doing this activity, and wear eye and hand protection, as some of the contents can potentially be harmful. In container 1 (stirred well to mix): 150ml of distilled water ; contents of 1 vitamin c capsule (break it open and tip in the contents) ; 6ml of 12% iodine solution. In container 2 (stirred well to mix): 40ml of boiling water ; 100ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide ; 2 grams of corn starch. Then pour them together in a third container, and watch the iodine clock reaction take place!

Thank you!

Vera Rubin, Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar are not "white dudes"

@@STEMwithMrN how do you know? Even so that is just 3. 🤣🤣

@Jasona1976 I know, it's only 30% of the video. I managed greater diversity in some of the other sciences. Unfortunately, physics is a male-dominated field and many of those who had the greatest impact - that we are aware of - are white males. It would have been easier for me to just do all white males, but I wanted to get some diversity while still looking at people who made a big impact.

@@STEMwithMrN diversity is a delusion of the radical left. The fact is that white males have dominated every area of science for hundreds of years. And we can thank them for all the benefits of the modern world.

Thanks Mr Smith! I did a live science show there back in Feb, too, great team there and you're right, great place to visit!

@@STEMwithMrN I watched that video - nice set of experiments which I'm sure they enjoyed.

It did indeed, as did my stand and light!

Here's hoping! He's had surprisingly good predictions for other experiments I've shown him.

I hope you enjoyed the fair. It was a pleasure visiting your school :)

Thank you 🙂

Also, thank you for your feedback. The full series is now filmed, and it's the first time I've set out on such a task, so I'll keep it in mind for the future 🙂

Thank you! 😀

Simple and fun at-home science getting to explore density (oil floating on water, bubbles rising, vit c falling) and chemical reactions (vit c fizzing). My boy's obsessed with his lava lamp 😀

There are many documents with calculations with stated assumptions as a very precise answer is not required, and these are directly stated assumptions in amongst other things which are untrue, such as assuming there is no atmospheric pressure, for example. However, there are centuries of scientific research and evidence to prove the Earth is rotating. For example, time exposure cameras show circular paths of star trails proving the Earth is rotating; the winds on the Earth curve proving the Earth is rotating; pendulums swing and change direction proving the Earth is rotating. Some Flat Earthers even used a ring laser gyroscope to try and disprove the rotation of the Earth, and instead measured the correct rotation of 15 degrees per hour.

@STEMwithMrN total distorted bs !!! The facts are the earth and oceans are measured by, flat straight sun moon reflection over ocean horizon to shore based observer, sun-mirror-reflections recorded flat and straight inches above large bodies of water over many miles without curve interference, water levels, theodolite, microwave, radar, laser, sonar, Mountain Long Distance Shadows and Long Range inferred photography (out to 700 miles) record the earth being an undulating level plane with its large bodies of waters horizontal, flat and level at rest. NASA released physics doc's confirm - nonrotating flat earth.! There is not one demonstratable empirical scientific evidence of a spinning water sphere flying through the alleged theory of a 10 to the minus -17 tor vacuum of alleged space.. these facts are confirmed by Militaries, Navy, Airforce and Nasa's engineering scientific physics document calculations for rockets, projectiles and aircraft, that all state nonrotating flat earth, nowhere in their papers do they rely on Coriolis or a rotating sphere earth.. ballers will say they use "nonrotating flat earth" to simplify there math... this is also utter BS.!!!

My Superman to Clark Kent transformation 😜😂

@@STEMwithMrNlol I see it now

The full explanation is in my Conservation of Energy video with some other cool experiments, but basically, when you bend the lollipop stick, it's trying to pull itself back straight. When they're all bent and holding each other in place you get a whole row of lollipop sticks straining to straighten up. When you release it, they all spring straight and create a chain reaction.

Thank you! Thinking of doing it for a live audience at an upcoming STEM festival 🤔

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Thanks, I found it interesting to research. You should check out the full video on my channel :)

You're welcome, James!
