Celebrate April Fools’ Day with Floating Paper Airplanes, Three Cup Monty and the Dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide

April Fools’ Day is one of our favorite holidays in the Steve Spangler Science office. Pranks are abundant and no one’s coffee, desk chair, or personal space is safe. The only downside is that April 1st falls on a Sunday this year and we won’t be able to prank our co-workers.

Here are three fun, science-filled pranks you can play on your co-workers, friends, or family.

The Dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide

Every year thousands of people are put at risk from exposure to Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO). Widely unreported by the media and virtually ignored by government agencies, this silent chemical remains unknown to the majority of people facing possible exposure. This new containment system provides users with an easy but effective way to carefully contain and transport DHMO for proper storage or disposal. Please consult local waste and disposal guidelines for compliance with county and state regulations.

Can you get the airplane to hover on the air currents?
