I'm so excited that this channel exists. I was trying to explain to my three children that a man in the late 80's named Mr Wizard, taught me science and gave me a thirst for knowledge at a young age. I was hoping to find a video on RU-vid but I found all the videos on RU-vid! Thank you!
I'm slightly disappointed he didn't say one word about how the beads they start with are made. (The plastic is mixed with gas like nitrogen while it's molten in a high-pressure atmosphere, then allowed to cool and turn solid before the pressure is released. Gently melting the plastic allows the tiny high pressure bubbles to become larger, low pressure bubbles.)
Mr. Wizard missed a perfect opertunity to have molten plastic with high pressure in a television studio where children are present. Mr. Wizard, you COWARD! :-D
@@kokobunni5897 If you watch his earlier show in the 60's he seems much more patience. That being said the kids back then seemed more in the know, so he did not seem like he had to explain so much.
NO way.... Mr. Wizard was an actual scientist and not a perverted pos. Nye is an actor...that has some very minor degree but because he spews their modern day drivel...they gave him an honorary degree. Mr Wizard WAS awesome. Nye never was.
That glass pot that he is using when I was a kid in the late 80s my mom was cooking spaghetti sauce and one of those glass pots and it exploded like a grenade throughout the kitchen glass went everywhere like shrapnel luckily nobody got hurt
Mr. Wizard: "Christian, you've seen little cases like this haven't you?" Stacey: my name's Stacey Mr. Wizard: "....and because it's a gold fish, we'll put in some of the yellow" Stacey: but it's orange Mr. Wizard to producer: I am NEVER working with that kid again.....all she does is argue...
