Steve Spangler Science

Do square bubbles really exist? That's the question of the day and the answer is yes… if you know the science secret. Square bubbles are easy to make and serve as a great learning tool as students explore the concepts of soap films and surface tension. Get ready to amaze your friends.

If you see a giant black bag floating high in the sky in your neighborhood, don't be alarmed. Chances are you have a neighbor who attended our Weather and Science Day last week. Steve Spangler and our weather team assigned some homework at the event, and Steve is here to share the science behind these flying solar sausages.

Steve Spangler Science was a part of a weather balloon launch that went 93,000 feet into space as a part of 'Weather and Science Day 2012' at Coor's Field in Denver Colorado. It was an exciting event where there was a lot of cheering and a lot of fun explosions and, of course, education. Check out some of the video that was captured on the cameras that went up with the weather balloon.

Today we will finally answer the question that has puzzled viewers for years: which kinds of soda will sink, and which will float? Okay, maybe not, but this is an experiment with a few surprises! Plug the drain, fill the sink with water, and take the plunge with Steve's floating science challenge.

The tornadoes that often sweep the midwest in spring gave our science guy an opportunity to look at the science of these twisters… and how to make your own tabletop tornado using household stuff.
