Screaming jelly baby

Ever wondered what would make a jelly baby scream? What about how to demonstrate respiration in a fun and easy-to-learn way? The 'screaming jelly baby' is your answer.

Jane Arthur-Eaton from Helston Community College uses jelly babies (pure sugar) and heated potassium chlorate (an oxidising agent) to demonstrate how much energy can be released from food using oxygen. The result: a screaming jelly baby and lots of light and heat!

[sierramist66]

You know, it only looks like it's pointing at her face because of the camera angle, it's actually pointed at the wall/window.

So how much energy would the technician have extracted if she'd eaton arthur jelly-baby?

(Sorry. Sorry.)

@abmackay God gave people lungs so that we may breath on our own. Science is a vast subject, and has affected humanity in the greatest of ways. It's the result of human curiosity and willingness to learn and discover new things. It's also a deeper explanation to those who still don't understand. "Do unto others as you should do unto yourself." Keep trolling like that, and you're going to get the same treatment from other people. If you're going to say something, do it politely.

@abmackay I sincerely hope that this was a trolling comment, otherwise you are rather uneducated and foolish. I have never claimed to be a man of faith, in fact I am entirely against the idea of religion or proclaiming one's self to be better than other living creatures simply based on lineage. But there are many who have true faith who are also very scientific, the two do not necessarily cancel. Perhaps you should learn about the respiratory system prior to posting such foolish remarks.

health and safety is very inportant so im going to heat up some oxidiizing agentsin a tube THAT IS POINTING AT MY FACE !!!!!!!!! :)

[abmackay]

So... you ADD heat from the torch... and the tube then EMITS heat. I'm not impressed. Isn't it more likely that "respiration" is actually driven by the power of GOD, after all it takes cold things (food) and makes your body heat from it! As usual, the secular "science" comes up short.
