Kid's Science Experiment To Show CO2 Is Heavier Than Air

[peteacher52]

Like the "dead dog subway", supposedly somewhere in France very many years ago; all pooches venturing through died whilst those on leashes revived only if picked up smartly by alert owners. People were not effected. It remained a mystery for a while. Investigation proved a leak of CO2 from somewhere into the subway and it collected in a dip, not deeper than knee level.

Global warming through CO2 is a squalid lie - a cynical means of punitive taxation and control of people.

Thanks! ill use this for science in a bag my grade 6 project

(quoted)

CO2 and CFCs are heavier than nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), which make up most of the atmosphere. But when it comes to the behaviour of gases the effect of gravity is tiny.

Gases do one thing, and they do it well - diffuse. So even if a heavy gas is spread out along the floor, it will eventually rise up to spread evenly throughout the whole room. Otherwise we'd all be walking around in a layer of CO2, with a life expectancy of about 2.5 minutes.

ahah

i'd like to see the part where you then explain to the 'kids' that CO2 then goes high in the atmosphere and heats the planet and is going end the world in the next fifty years. I actually don't think kids would believe after your experiment.

[warcraftart]

i think it will take longer than 50 years dumbass

@campgalley The oxygen atom is heavier than carbon so if we replace the carbon atom in CO2 with an oxygen atom we'll get O3 and it will be heavier than CO2.

No wonder there is a hole in the Ozone layer. The atoms suddenly remembered that they were heavier than air & fell back to earth to hide under a blanket of CO2!

OK so what's the trick? GHGs and Ozone are able to absorb radiation, turning it into heat & guess what? Hot air rises allowing O3 & CO2 to perform gravity defying feats.

After You Mix The Baking Soda With The Vinegar

And Wait For the Fix to Go Away WHat Does It Leave Over What Is That Gas Really Called?

[DarkMCR666]

By Fix i Mean Fizz.

...C02 (@.@)

[goldenretriever654]

it's carbon dioxide.

[LiljeMe]

Bakingsoda and ?

[DarkMCR666]

Vinegar

[antii2]

lol i remember doing this in 5th grade...

[nicker135799]

kool

[Tmdkiller]

Great Video You Rock !

[sjsawyer]

HOLY S*** B****!

[Vehemite]

Oh I'm sorry, the sun only shows in the US. Fucking retard.

[Curly7714]

lol

[hanslol]

global warming will kill you all

[ItOnlyTakes4]

O_O'

[Xeferah]

Simple, but really cool. Indeed, it's like magic, pouring something you cannot see in a candle to extingish the fire.

Great way to interest some kids in science.

[generalx5]

Like magic =D, great simple experiment, worth the time and effort. Thanks for the demo!

[brennieboy56883]

that was just plain reatarded

[Curly7714]

what have you got, huh?

[mindtriplx]

please dont try this! you will be helping global warming!....jk nice vid. im gonna give it a go too.

[Mr02camaro]

@mindtriplx your stupid clouds make more global worming than c02

[mindtriplx]

@Mr02camaro I am pretty sure you are the stupid one. You replied to a 2 yr old comment without bothering to read past the first sentence.

[StainedShuriken333]

@Mr02camaro LoL you're such a dumbfuck.

[mrkanker1]

@Mr02camaro  <------5th biggest tard on youtube ive ever seen

[mastersniper1]

that is awsome i am so going to go try that right now

[cptcliffhanger]

Nice I've never seen that. well executed.

The voice is out of sync for some reason. It plays properly on metacafe, search under the same desctiption. Kj & I had to work at it a bit to get it to work flawlessly each time before filming. We did this while dad was snoozing in his room so I'll have fond memories of doing this with her during a difficult time in our lives.

[itgoeslikethis]

Lol thats cool
