Exploring Giant Science Experiments with Science Max

Phil from Science Max conducts large-scale science experiments. He explores liquid density by creating tinfoil boats and tests their buoyancy. Phil also delves into the world of magnets, demonstrating magnetic levitation and explaining the science behind it. The episode is filled with engaging experiments and educational insights into physics concepts like density and magnetism.

What material is used to make the small experiment boats in the introduction?

• Paper

• Wood

• Plastic

• Tin foil

Why do container ships made of metal float?

• They are very light

• They are filled with air

• They are magic

• They are designed to displace enough water

What is volume?

• The density of an object

• How much space something takes up

• How heavy something is

• The amount of water something can hold

Which of these has more mass if one is empty and the other is full of treasure?

• Neither has mass

• The empty chest

• The chest full of treasure

• Both have the same mass

Why is it easier to float in salt water than in fresh water?

• Salt water is warmer

• Salt water has a higher density

• Salt water is less dense

• Salt water is colder

What is the secret ingredient in diapers that makes them super absorbent?

• Plastic

• Cotton

• Super absorbent gel

• Foam

What are the two poles of a magnet called?

• Top and Bottom

• East and West

• North and South

• Positive and Negative

What happens when you put the North pole of one magnet next to the North pole of another magnet?

• They do nothing

• They attract each other

• They repel each other

• They become demagnetized

What is the purpose of using a shaft through the center of ring magnets in the levitation experiment?

• To make the magnets heavier

• To keep the magnets in position

• To increase the magnetic field

• To reduce the magnetic field

What is the main reason the initial magnetic levitation attempt failed?

• The magnets were too weak

• The magnets were not aligned properly

• The magnets were too strong

• The magnets were too far apart
