Hi folks! I believe you’ve experienced going to parties with some sort of entertainment, haven’t you? We see clowns amuse children and adults alike, displaying their funny tricks and antics. But, did you know that there are a myriad of things you can do to amuse people in a party aside from comic presentations and magic? One of those things that we can make use of is by presenting something different and uncommon like simple scientific experiments.
By putting on a scientific experiments show, the audience gets the chance to learn a lot. It’s not only entertaining but educational as well. People in the party, especially the children, will learn so much from it. Science has simple explanations on these experiments. There’s nothing magical about them. It’s just an application of the existing natural laws on earth. Now, let’s look at some of them.
On the first demo, the man shows how static electricity works. He puts a drinking straw on top of a plastic bottle after rubbing it against his shirt. He then makes it move whenever his finger gets closer to it. Pretty amazing, isn’t it? But, is it magic? I don’t think so.
Next is, he empties a teabag and uses it to demonstrate what he calls a rocket-propelled action by making the teabag stand upright and lit up on top. And as the fire reaches the bottom of the teabag, it launches upward like a rocket.
Now, let’s go to the sausage thing. It’s quite tricky at first, but it’s true. As I was focusing my eyes away from the fingers, something happened as if my eyes are playing tricks on me. I saw what he’s trying to explain on the video. I noticed some kind of a small sausage floating at the center of his two fingers.
The man now makes use of both a heavier and a lighter object like a vase and a feather attached on each end of a string. The experiment requires a pencil on which the string would run through as the vase falls. It’s expected that the vase would stop its downward course as the other end of the string coils on the pencil. He shows us a particular kind of force operating behind it.
This one looks weird. I tried it myself and it’s true. My arm raised by itself. Maybe the reason behind this phenomenon is, as the arm is pushed against the door frame, it conditions the arm muscles through the brain telling it that there’s something resisting it, so it continues to send signals to the arm muscles to continue applying force against it. And as the arm is quickly taken off the doorframe, it tends to move upward.
When I was in elementary school, I was also asked how to get the coin submerged in water without getting my fingers wet. It was a puzzle for me until someone demonstrated it like what is shown here on this video. The experiment uses suction to get rid of the water first, and then, you can now get the coin without getting your fingers wet. These are just some of the new tricks you could use to show off in parties. I believe these will amaze your guests as they amazed us.
