Are you looking to add a little science into your Valentine’s Day? Have no fear, because the Science Love Doctor is in.
Love Meter
Are you hot enough to make the Love Meter boil? Simply grab the meter at the bottom and watch what happens. Is this really measuring your love or is it using your body heat?
The Love Meter is actually called a Hand Boiler. When the gas in the bottom bulb is heated with your hand, the increase in temperature creates an increase in air pressure. This increased pressure pushes the liquid up the tube to the top bulb. When all of the liquid transfers from the bottom bulb, air bubbles are forced up the tube, causing the liquid in the top

As everyone is well aware of by now, the Broncos are playing the New England Patriots in the Playoffs this weekend. Tim Tebow and his team are traveling to Boston to try and keep their Super Bowl dreams alive.
This Broncos season has been nothing but unpredictable and exciting. During the game, you won’t want to break away from the TV for even a second. Here are some ideas to quickly open a can of Pringles, prepare frozen food and celebrate every touchdown.
These demonstrations are meant for entertainment and educational purposes and are not meant to actually be done at home. Here is more information on the experiments in this video:
For Steve’s Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes book signing, we shot off Mentos and Diet Coke Geysers in the parking lot and had a liquid Nitrogen parade at the Tattered Cover Book Store in Highlands Ranch. We have more experiments and surprises for the Fire Bubbles and Exploding Toothpaste book signing this week. Who knows what we will do.
The Tattered Cover is used to authors coming in, reading an excerpt from their book and signing a few books. With Steve Spangler book signings, they must check the smoke detectors, warn the fire department and declare a “wet” and “dry” zone (no soda geysers or other science eruptions near the book shelves).
Come to the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch this Wednesday, December 7th at 6 p.m. and see what Steve Spangler and crew will do this time. This will be a kid-friendly book signing like no other. We will have special hands-on activities that are sure to keep the kids engaged and you smiling.
Are you hungry for homemade ice cream? Are you in a hurry? You can whip up a batch of liquid nitrogen ice cream in just a few minutes. Just add a little half and half, candy and of course a little liquid nitrogen…
Professional athletes practice before the big game day… and so should the visiting science team. We’re honored to be invited by the Colorado Rockies baseball organization and NBC affiliate 9News to kick-off their first annual Science Day at Coors Field on May 7, 2009. If you’re in the Colorado area, there’s still time to sign-up. Yes, even Dinger liked the kaboom.
