  • I'm not sure

  • We did that at school, however to make it more interesting we added red food colouring and some small rocks to make it actually look like lava.

  • NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

  • Or you can add baking soda and vinegar to volcano but you'll need to die it red

  • Yes, but of course I always keep a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide just in case I feel like making a volcano. I mean, who doesn't? It's not like they don't sell it in the store or anything.

  • @Th4w Exactly... that's why they DO sell it at stores...! :)

  • use a water bottle and bury it in sand or dirt

  • I see a product placement!

    You can barely see it but still, the Kroger's Logo is in the products.

  • hahaahhahha nicely song :))))

  • Put Red Food Coloring In it/

  • Wouldn't baking soda and vinegar be more simple?

  • @nikahatt yes but the effect isnt as good and doesn last as long

  • steve..that was weak.

  • because vinegar and baking soda are too mainstream

  • You killed millions of little cells, how do you feel!!

  • the yeast is bacteria and the hydrogen peroxide is designed to kill said bacteria. So upon mixture the peroxide rapidly decomposes and leaves behind a foam which cannot be contained in such a small cone like the cardboard one. So it flows outwards causing the "eruption"

  • I WATCHED IT BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC

  • or... baking soda and vinegar

  • the hydrogen peroxide adds oxygen and water to the yeast causing the eruption

  • They keep saying its sick science but its never sick science. LIARS!!

  • cool when it says "Share your Conclusion on how you thInk this happens by leaviNg a C omment below" it spells science!!! :D I KNEW THAT READING HIGHLIGHTED OR BOLDED LETTERS WOULD PAY OFF

  • this music is driving me crazy

  • this sucks

  • It is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

  • or just vinegar and bicarboate of soda.

  • @MrBurnTec or baking soda

  • OMG MUSIC IS SO ANNOYING!!! BUT SO COOL AT THE SAME TIME!!!! AHHHH

  • Cut the cone to make it flat!... that's not flat...

  • wow amazing.

  • or just use baking soda and vinigar

  • its elephant toothpaste :D or thats how ive seen elephant toothpaste made

  • Or vinegar and soda with food coloring

  • thanks for the science fair idea

  • Imma do this if we have another science fair ._. Ty!

  • Or you can use vinegar and baking soda

    Or soda and mentos

  • Do this with Sulfuric acid and Sugar!! its amazinggg

  • With the help of Satan..!!

  • erm.. about the adult supervision thing.. why i never see it in this video? there is only 8 item..

  • The earth is a magnet feild it interacts with south but north and noth don't interact so the south (when it is rubed my the south side ) it would go north so the magnet feild ALWAYS interacts with south It is real simple Peace plz sub i need to more and i will have 30

  • @jaydenmbn wrong video buddy.

  • @jaydenmbn lol you commented on the wrong video i love when people do that

  • chemcical reaction?

  • that happened because of science??

  • I'm glad i just got to witness a yeast massacre!

  • Chemical reaction

  • Or just use Coke and Mentos.

  • @Xabdos thats a different reaction.

  • what about viniger and baking soda

  • Use baking soda and vinegar it works faster! duh!

  • You are the best.

  • @RileyGFX why is it illegal?

  • what is the song?

  • add some dish soap to make this experiment 10000x cooler

  • should it be red?

  • Can get a better reaction with coke and mentos >.>

  • Elephant toothpaste. NOW.

  • you can just use vinegar, baking soda, and red food coloring

  • this just happens because they two substances have a chemical reaction nothing special...

  • Or you can use coke and sugar :D

  • @19CroatiaPower98 Coke and mentos, and it will be a great eruption :)

  • You are the best Steve, wish there were more people like you.

  • STEVE SPANGLER LET ME SLEEP!!!! Dx

  • can i add food coloring?

  • @MegaAlienx No its illegal

  • do red fruit couler work

  • Its funny how they make more clicks to match the 'What you need' part.

  • @LemonLimeFreezy not really

    

  • Just did this with a school group but added liquid soap (Dawn) for extra foam-y action!

  • Where's the "kboooooommmm!!!!"?

    

  • That was terrible.. Do the good ol' bicarbonate and vinegar :)

  • It also works with cola and mentos right?

  • The hydrogen peroxide is a catalyst, and yeast expands but very slowly. So if you mix the two, it makes the process much faster and vola!

  • @Man19435 no, the yeast is the catalyst

  • does science have common cold ????? because write sick science :/

  • They never use the adult supervision thing... -_-

  • y don't u just get vinager and 'soda' or baking powder???? of a bottleof diet coke and add 5 mentos to it

  • Can I drink it???

  • the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the yeast.

  • Easier way to do it:

    You'll need coca cola and mentos. And the paper around it. First put the coke bottle on the tray and wrap it with paper. Put the mentos in. huge explosion.

  • it's because it's a cemical react.

  • Isn't this a watered down version o the elephant toothpaste experiment?

  • Yeast releases all the oxygen inside the peroxide

  • Hydrogen peroxide breaks down the enzymes. Biology class last year (:

  • The use of this reaction is becoming repetitive.

  • I've done this with manganese dioxide, but the yeast is a bit safer and easier to obtain

  • If you mix in dish soap with that. It'd be cooler.

    Ive donne it before (:

  • ew

  • can u put food coloring in it to change the color

  • anticlimax

  • OMG, he's wearing a sweater.... Unusual

  • when I was a kid, we used baking soda and vinegar, I guess this generation needs hidrogen peroxide and active dry yeast

  • its rabid, run!

  • Yeah i'll just take hydrogen peroxide from my pantry...........

  • Or kids you can pour the whole bag of yeast

  • why not just use baking soda and vinegar?

  • just put dry ice and vinegar and its even better

  • my guess: there is a monster living in that volcano with wicked diarrhea.

  • @ilovefunnyvideos216 I second that :)

  • Where do I buy this "adult supervision" thing?

  • @DondeEstaVee walmart

  • @steph05302000 They ran out of stock :(

  • @DondeEstaVee you must be 4 years old it is a meaning that you need help from parents

  • @rojerangelo Lol, i was joking, im an adult/scientist myself

  • @DondeEstaVee hahaha

  • @DondeEstaVee get it at "Home" store

  • @DondeEstaVee man, didnt you hear? they sold out last week. There was a huge sale. Of course, i gotta return mine, it was defective... figures

  • @DondeEstaVee The side of a street.

  • some nice bass in that song

  • The yeast is running away because its cuts are stinging!?!

  • I've done this before but instead I use baking soda and vinegar

  • why does science is sick? D:

  • you seem like a person with a great personality ! ....

  • Mine exploded and set my hair on fire. What did I do wrong?

  • @SimonsRandomChannel Use the adult Supervision. I think it's because of that. Then your hair will grow back I think

  • @SimonsRandomChannel probably didn't need to use tnt :P

  • Earth Science WIN! :-D

  • hey i wonder what would happen if you mixed hydrogen peroxide and vinegar in one glass then put the cone over it then in another glass mixed baking soda and yeast then pour the baking soda/yeast mixture into the vinegar/peroxide mixture, hmm could make for the ultimate volcano!!

  • if you REALLY wanna see something interesting after you put the peroxide in the cup put in 3 table spoons of sugar and 5 drops of red food coloring then put the cone over and finally pour in the yeast, then sugar speeds up the decomposition of the yeast and the food coloring makes it look awsome!!

  • science stuff above /\ /\ /\ /\ /\ seem interested.

  • Instead of Hydrogen Peroxide try Bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar, much better

  • would be awesome with some soap and food colouring

  • That was kind of a lame one =/

  • Aww it's not orange... would it spoil the effect to add orange die?

  • Easier method: Baking Soda + Vinegar

  • should of added red colour dye to make it look like lava!

  • mentos and coca cola work better

  • My guess:  the yeast catalyses the decomposition of the H2O2 into water and oxygen. 2 H2O2 --> 2 H2O + O2. The bubbles are the oxygen.

  • I could've just bought mentos and coke :|

  • I think it was magic, frankly

  • 2 H2O2 => 2 H2O + O2. Those bubbles are just full of oxygen!

  • i can smell it from here :d

  • Or use mentos and a fizzy drink. Always work ;)

  • My guess: the yeast catalyses the decomposition of the H2O2 into water and oxygen. 2 H2O2 --> 2 H2O + O2. The bubbles are the oxygen.

  • So cool! :D

  • Hi Steve!

  • Cool

  • Sick science Sick science Sick science with Steve spangler

  • First, second, last.

    Dont care, the video was AWSOME!!!

  • This looks interesting. im going to try it :D

  • The yeast is decomposing peroxide: 2 H2O2 => 2 H2O + O2. The bubbles are full of pure oxygen.

  • @themaskedcrusader The is about 21% pure oxygen, Depending what you mean by pure...

  • @themaskedcrusader wait so what happens when u light a open flame next to it? will it catch fire or wat?.....

  • @narutoandavatarrocks it is pure oxygen so no

  • @themaskedcrusader Could I sniff the bubbles?

  • @themaskedcrusader +impurities

  • Very nice

  • Nice Video :D

  • nice

  • ahh we did that in school when i was around 11 x)

  • Nice
