 Hey everybody, welcome to the Waldoch Way. My name is Jessica. And today we are going to be looking inside these science unlocked boxes from home science tools. You guys, I am super excited because these are amazing, like amazing. So this is the first thing that I'm gonna show you and it is the getting started pamphlet. You can see here we have chose the Fizz Foam in Fire which is an introduction to chemical reactions but there are multiple different ones that you can pick. It doesn't have to be this one. There's a Newton's notion that we also grabbed because it looked like it would be a lot of fun too. On the front here, you have just an overview of what your learning goals are. And then inside the directions on how to use the teacher's guide, the student workbook, a key for the different things. So the question mark key, the yellow tab, what each of the icons means and then a packing list of everything that's inside the box. So that is your getting started pamphlet. Next up, let's go ahead and look at the student workbook. So the student workbook is bright and colorful and fun. It tells you the activity, what you're gonna need, any warnings and then your step-by-step directions with pictures which I really appreciate. I like being able to see. And then when you get done, there are normally some reflection questions kind of like a, what did you see? What happened? See, here you go again, there's some more reflection. I have to say, I think my favorite thing about it is that while there are discussion questions and reflection questions, there is not a ton of busy work. So you are having a blast doing the hands-on experiment and then you are just talking about it and reflecting upon it, but you're not having to do a lot of busy work. Instead, you're just kind of getting to the bottom of it. So it is very, very fun. If you're looking to add more experiments, this is a great way to do it. And then in the back, you have a glossary. Now, the teacher's guide is set up in a very similar way, although it does include a planning guide in the very front. So it tells you the activities. It also tells you the time required for each of them. So you would know going in if you were gonna have the amount of time that you needed. And then it tells you the day or lesson. So you could do this entire thing in 16 days and an eight-hour total investment, which sounds very doable. Sounds like something you could either incorporate into your homeschool as a standalone science or you could add it even as something you're already doing. Now, it does have all of the answers to anything that's in the student notebook. So if you wanted to keep this away from your student so that they couldn't see it, because like I said, it does include all of the answers. So you don't have to know them going in. There is an answer key. And then that same glossary is in the back for you as well. Another one of my super favorite things is that inside this box, when you get it, not only do you get the teacher's guide in the student notebook, but you essentially get absolutely everything that you're gonna need to do the experiments. And we're talking safety glasses, yeast, baking soda, matches, the beakers, I mean, everything that you're gonna need is already in here. So it makes it really, really easy to just grab your books in this box and sit down and just dive in and have a blast doing all of these hands-on experiments with your kiddos in your homeschool. All right, Emily, what are we doing today? Elephant toothpicks explosion. That sounds fun. Let's get into it. All right, do you wanna read a little bit about it? Yes, sir. First, you'll perform a chemical reaction to make what many people call elephant toothpaste because it makes a lot of foam that you can imagine an elephant using to brush their teeth. So we have all of our supplies laid out. They came in our kit from Science Unlock. So I think we are ready. And let's go ahead and prepare. Oh, here's a warning. It says, do not eat. Who would eat that? That's disgusting. Right? Okay, don't eat it. Do not eat it. Like all of our science experiments, we have chemicals and we have to be safe with our chemicals. We've read our list and our precautions. So one of the most important one is the hydrogen peroxide. This is not like the one you have in your medicine cabinet. It's more like what a hairdresser uses. Like what you do when you put in your ears like when you get water in there? Yeah, well, this one's a little more serious. It's stronger, it's 6%. So, all right. So what do we got with you? We also have a thermometer we're gonna be using. Cool. All right, so we're gonna be looking for a couple of things during our chemical reaction. We're gonna be looking for possible chemical reactions, meaning a change like you're creating another chemical. If you put two things together, you create something new. Also, there's physical change where it goes from a liquid to a solid or a solid to a liquid. So that's a physical change. It can produce five products, which would be, if you like a match, you can get heat, okay? There was no heat before because there was no reaction, but the minute you strike the match and the chemical reaction occurs, then it produces the flame, it produces heat, okay? So there's different types of reactions, different types of things that are produced by the reactions. So the reaction we're learning about today is chemicals, right? That's right. We're gonna basically mix up the chemicals as per the directions, and if everything works out correctly, we're gonna create elephant toothpaste. And that's gonna go everywhere. And hopefully it goes everywhere. Hopefully not too much. Nope, we can clean it up. Yeah, true. All right, so let's start with, you wanna run through your list here? Yes. It says what to do. So what are we doing first? Put on your goggles and gloves. Did it. Okay. And place the graded, the graduated. Cylinder in the pipe plate, which is this? Yes, and they call it a graduated cylinder because the measurements go up so you are gradually increasing to whatever measurement you want. Also like when you graduate from school, you're going up to the grades. Grade, grade, that's right. So that's why they named it that way. Now, please. All right, so we have it in our pipe hand. What is next? Step two, with their teacher supervision, use the pipette. Mm-hmm, which would be, as we know, a pipette. To add 7.5 milliliters of hydrogen peroxide to the graduated cylinder. Take your pipette. All right, I'm gonna take the top off. I'm gonna maintain control on the hydrogen peroxide. So squeeze it. Yes ma'am, you're gonna squeeze it. All right, that's full. Now, don't add it all, go slow so you can make sure you get the correct measurement. You may have to do it a couple of times. You can go a little faster than that. Okay, keep going. Nope, not yet. All right, let's do it again. And remember, we're going for 7.5 milliliters. Good job. I got it. Okay. Perfect, perfect. Now you're getting real close that this is where it's gonna be key to pay attention to how much you're putting in. All right, a little more. A little more, a little more. Just to eat a bit, a bit more. Yeah, me. That's blue side, that's about perfect, babe. Step three, add two slash three drops of food coloring to the graduated cylinder. Okay, so two to three drops of food coloring. They're giving us green. All right. Oh, and this one, they show orange. Right. Those are steps. Go ahead, you're gonna squeeze that into the cylinder two to three drops. Should we do three or two? I will go ahead and go for the most. We want a bang for our buck. Let's do it. One, two, three, perfect. Add two slash three drops of dish soap from the dropper bottle to the graduated cylinder. Perfect. Okay. Now this one says. Dish soap. Dish washing liquid. All right. And it says two to three, so should we do three? I'm saying big bang. Let's do it. Okay. Do you think an explosion will happen? Nope, it shouldn't. These are all the, we're getting set up for. Oh, I got some stuff on them. Yeah, food coloring. We're setting up for the reaction, but we haven't added the catalyst that's gonna create the reaction. We're getting all of our ingredients, so. One, two, that's gonna take a while to get there. Three, that's gonna take a while to get there. All right, so step five, what are we doing? Gently swirl to mix the hydrogen peroxide food coloring and it's dish soap. Okay, do you want to swirl or do you want me to swirl? Probably be best for you to swirl because that probably looks really hard. Okay, so I think basically what we're trying to do is we're trying to get all that stuff mixed up. So it makes a good reaction. Kind of get the soap agitated, yeah. So instead of having three components, it all blends in to make one. Wow. Before we add the catalyst. If you look at it, it's a darker green now. Man, it's pretty. Step six, in the beaker, not the cylinder, fill up to 50 milliliters line with warm water. On this one, I want you to take the sir stick. I'm going to open up our packet of yeast and we're gonna pour it into the warm water. And then we're gonna mix it? And then you're going to mix it, yes ma'am. You can actually smell the yeast when it blooms. Oh, oh, it smells like. Yeast. Disgusting stuff. Smells like poo. Alrighty, let's move to the next step. It looks like we're off the front of the page. Alright, let's see what we're at. We're at step eight. Alright, we need to do what on step eight? Let the yeast sit in the water for one minute. Okay, so we're gonna set a timer. We're gonna give it one minute to sit. That's allowing the yeast to actually come to life and do what they need to do. Use a clean pipette to get out one milliliter of the yeast solution. The pipette should be full. Basically, now full does not mean the squeeze part. The squeeze part, when you siphon, you push all the air out of the pipette. When you release your fingers, it expands, creates a vacuum so it sucks the yeast up into here. That line right there is actually going to be what you need, which is a full pipette. To get all the way to the bottom, I'm gonna fill it all the way up to there. Then let it settle back down. Ready? Mm-hmm. Oh. Okay. It smells disgusting. So it's in there. It's coming out fast now. Oh, can we check its temperature?
