ALICIA: COVERING THE NEWS IN 2020 DEFINITELY HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR JOURNALISTS.
HERE AT 9:00 WE DID FIND A WAY
TO BRING FUN AND LAUGHTER TO
EVERYONE IN A VERY EDUCATIONAL
WAY.
DAVID: KAITI‘S SCIENCE LAB WAS A
WAY TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO
LEARN WHILE DOING.
IT TURNED INTO ONE OF OUR
ALL-TIME FAVORITE SEGMENTS.
WE LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE BEST
MOMENTS.
>> STARTING A BRAND-NEW SEGMENT.
>> IS THIS HOW YOU ENVISION IT?
KAITI: WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO
MAKE YOUR OWN LAVA LAMP.
BREAK THE ALKA-SELTZER TABLET UP
A LITTLE BIT.
SCIENCE.
THE OIL AND THE WATER STAY
SEPARATED WITH ALKA-SELTZER
HELPING TO FIZZ THE WATER
PUSHING IT UP INTO THE OIL.
WE WILL CREATE A REACTION
BETWEEN AN ACID AND A BASE.
TURN IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND
PUT IN AROUND IT TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE A VOLCANO.
THAT IS REALLY THE BEST I COULD
DO THIS.
>> DAVID: DAVID: IT LOOKS LIKE
SANTA CLAUS MELTED.
>> STOP IT.
[LAUGHTER]
KAITI: THERE GOES.
DAVID, THANK YOU.
WHAT IS THE FORMULA FOR DENSITY?
DENSITY EQUALS WHAT OVER WHAT?
MASS OVER VOLUME.
THE MORE DENSE LIQUID WILL SINK
TO THE VOLUME -- BOTTOM.
WHAT IS DENSITY?
WHAT OVER WHAT?
DAVID, AGAIN?
MASS OVER VOLUME.
DAVID: LOOK! [LAUGHTER]
KAITI: PUSH IT OUT, THERE YOU
GO.
YOU ARE GOING TO CONNECT
TOOTHPICKS USING YOUR
CRANBERRIES AND WE WILL MAKE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHAPES.
WHAT SHOULD WE CALL THIS SHAPE
WITH EIGHT EDGES?
DAVID: OCTAGON.
[APPLAUSE]
KAITI: CANDY, BALLOONS, SODA.
LET‘S TRY THE NERDS.
DAVID: GO.
WOAH! WOAH!
IT‘S GOING TO BLOW!
KAITI: SOUNDS LIKE A CAULDRON.
DAVID: CHECK OUT THE EARRINGS.
KAITI: OUR FROZEN CARBON DIOXIDE
IS GOING THROUGH A PROCESS
CALLED SUBLIMATION.
THAT IS WHEN AN OBJECT GOES FROM
A FROZEN STATE, A SOLID-STATE TO
A GASEOUS STATE.
SPOOKY, SPOOKY, SPOOKY.
THE BIG DROP CHALLENGE.
IT DOESN‘T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH SOUP.
WE WILL LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT
INERTIA‘S OF DIFFERENT OBJECTS.
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE] [LAUGHTER] >> 3, 2, 1.
DAVID: WAS THAT YOUR ATTEMPT AT
AN EVIL LAUGH?
KAITI: IT WILL GET BETTER.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE ALIEN
MONSTER EGGS.
YOU BELIEVE THESE IN VINEGAR FOR
A DAY.
THE ACID IN THE VINEGAR
DISSOLVED OUR EGGSHELL AND WE
ARE LEFT WITH THIS RUBBER.
YOU TAKE THESE GUYS AND COVER
THEM WITH CORN SYRUP.
LET THAT SIT FOR A DAY.
YOU COULD MAKE YOUR OWN ALIEN
MONSTER EGGS.
DROP THE ALKA-SELTZER TABLET IN.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE QUICK HANDS FOR
THIS.
PUT THE LID ON AND THEN YOU WILL
TURN IT OVER SO THE LID IS DOWN.
DAVID: THERE YOU GO.
KAITI: CANDY CANES ARE TRYING TO
CHANGE FROM SOLID TO LIQUID.
WE WILL STOP THEM BEFORE THEY
COMPLETELY BECOME A LIQUID.
THAT IS WHERE YOU COULD BEND
THEM AND MAKE THEM INTO
DIFFERENT SHAPES.
>> THAT IS MY FAVORITE.
DAVID: THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS DAVID HAS
BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY SAMPLE.
KAITI: HE IS EATING THEM ALL.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I LOVE IT, THERE IS YOUR
TOOTHPASTE.
>> DAVID‘S LOOKS LIKE A SLURPEE.
HERS LOOKS LIKE GUACAMOLE
EXPLODED EVERYWHERE.
KAITI: ON THE CAMERA LENS.
SHOULD‘VE KNOWN THAT WAS COMING.
DAVID: I CAN‘T SEE.
♪
KAITI: I PROMISE WE WILL HAVE
MORE THINGS FOR YOU TO EAT IN
2021.
DAVID: SOME OF THE KIDS WERE
TRYING THEM AT HOME WITH THEIR
PARENTS.
WE WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH
SOME MORE FOR THE NEW YEAR.
KAITI: STILL A FEW DAYS LEFT IN
WINTER BREAK.
IF YOU NEED TO KEEP THE KIDS
BUSY, YOU COULD TRY THOSE IN THE
KIDS SECTION.
WHAT IS DENSITY?
DAVID: [LAUGHTER]
MASS OVER VOLUME.
KAITI: ONE DAY.
DAVID: I REMEMBER SUBLIMATION.
