 Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is boiling water. What altitude boils faster, lower, or higher? What you need for this experiment is water, a pot, a timer, and a thermometer. All right, welcome back to Kids Fun Science. So I was able to go to Lake Tahoe in Nevada side. There's California, Nevada, and we're in the altitude about 7,200 feet, where here in my hometown in Northern California, it's only 114 feet. And what that means is when you boil water, it boils at different temperatures and takes longer. But we're going to do an experiment to see if it's going to take longer at a higher altitude like Lake Tahoe, 7,200 feet, or here in Northern California, which is 114 feet above sea level, right? So what I've got is a pot of water here and a thermostat. And here at 114 feet above sea level, it takes you have to reach 211 degrees, 99 Celsius, to be able to boil water. So we're going to wait till we get that, see how long it is. And then I'm going to redo the same test up in Lake Tahoe, which is about 7,200 feet above sea level and see what the results are. Okay, to start off the experiment, just to show you before I turn it on that it's at 50 Fahrenheit, 25 Celsius. And we're going to turn it on. We're at above sea level here in Northern California. And I'm going to turn it on to high. And we will give an update every five minutes to see where we are as we have to get to 211 degrees Fahrenheit, 99 Celsius, for water to boil here in Northern California. All right, so we're coming on five minutes. And we're going to check the temperature. And you can see it's right there about 125 degrees, 50 Celsius. And we've only been going five minutes. So we're going to go put it back in, wait another five minutes of the way it's going. It looks like it's going to finish in 10 minutes. But we'll come back and check back in five minutes or when it gets up to 211 degrees. Another quick update, it's been seven and a half minutes. And you can see we're up to, what would that be here? Close to 160 degrees. So it's getting there. It's going quick. All right, so things are getting close. We're at 10 minute mark. And you can see we're just under 200 degrees. And it's getting there. It's very close, very close. All right, so it's been 11 minutes and 10 seconds. And we reached the 211 degrees. And it's boiling. So it just shows you here in lower altitude at 114 feet above sea level, we have to go to a hotter degree where it's 211 Fahrenheit. But it actually boils faster at the lower elevations than it does higher. As we could see later with with the Lake Tahoe boiling. So experiment number two, I'm in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, where it's 7257 feet above sea level. And you can see the temperature was underneath 25 Celsius and 50 degrees. So every five minutes, we will mark these markers. So five minutes into it, we're at 94 degrees and 34 Celsius. And so we'll continue to go for 12 minutes in. And we're 150 degrees and 65 Celsius and it's starting to rise but a lot slower. So I already passed at 15 minutes and we're at 170 degrees and 76 Celsius. So it's going a lot slower here up in Lake Tahoe at the higher altitude. So it's really close. We're at 17 and a half minutes and we're at 185 degrees, 85 Celsius. We're at 19 minutes and 49 seconds at 199 degrees, 92, a little over 92 Celsius and it's starting to boil. So it took almost eight minutes and 39 seconds longer to boil in Lake Tahoe at the 7200 feet compared to my hometown in Northern California where we're only 114 feet above sea level. So it does take almost at least almost double the time to boil at higher altitude. So you might want to think before you boil next time you're up at a higher altitude. I hope you enjoyed this experiment. I enjoyed being on vacation. I love Lake Tahoe. Please comment below how high you've been and how long it takes to boil and what temperature. Thanks for watching. All right, so that concludes our test today, our experiment, right? So and it found it really interesting because in Lake Tahoe, the higher elevation in the lower degrees to boil water, it actually took almost twice as long to boil water at a higher altitude compared to here in Northern California where you're only 114 feet above sea level and it took only about 11 minutes. But you had to be at a higher temperature at 211 degrees or 99 Celsius to boil water. So you think it would take longer here at a lower elevation because of the higher temperature, but that's misleading because it does take longer at the higher elevations. So you'll see that on cooking packages. If you have to cook something or boil something, it's going to tell you it's going to take a lot longer. So I hope you enjoyed this video.

Please comment below if you boil water and what elevation you are and how long it took as just I'm interested to hear from where you are and how long it takes to boil water. Thanks for watching.
