The Science of Fluorescent Food and Making a Glowing Meal
Have you ever eaten glowing food? We talk about the science of why some foods glow under UV light, which ones glow best, as well as some other simple science experiments that kids can do with the quinine in tonic water and vitamin B2 (riboflavin).
And then we eat our fluorescent food.
Squint Science is a science channel for young explorers, educators, and the science-curious. We cover the simple science of super small stuff to "see the invisible".

DIY "Blacklight" Scorpion Hunting?!
Переглядів 2,8 тис.3 роки тому
All over the internet are videos and blogs about making a blacklight using your phone, or homemade blacklight diy. They all involve putting layers of tape over your phone's LED flash and drawing purple or blue on each layer so that only higher energy light can come through. And the proof they all use that it's a blacklight is that it fluoresces highlighter ink. So we put this to the test- seein...

Why's There FISH in my Ice Cream?? || Antifreeze Protein
Переглядів 1,8 тис.4 роки тому
The pout fish makes a unique protein called antifreeze protein (in food products it's usually referred to as ice-structuring protein). This protein grabs ice crystals before they grow too large, which can lower freezing points. Unilever currently owns a patent to use this ice-structuring protein in food items, so they are starting to pop up in low-fat ice cream and slow melt popsicles. At Squin...

    ive had one week to plan a gender reveal, the last few days it’s been so hard to find the actual recipe to a good reaction in elephant foam. it’s in 2 days now and the only things i have is 3% hydrogen peroxide, yeast, and povidone iodine. i’m trying to find out if i can get the 30% hydrogen peroxide and iodide capsule in store but so far i only see online 😭

      I assume you are referring to the steam. It's a hot reaction, could be leftover 35% hydrogen peroxide, so I wouldn't let them touch it just in case. If you do the 3% h2o2 it should be fine to touch.
