Pouring lava in my pool!

The Backyard Scientist explores the concept of creating lava by melting volcanic rocks. Initially, the experiment faces challenges due to insufficient heat from the burner. After improving the burner, the experiment proceeds with testing the effects of lava on various materials, including a piece of chicken, glass, and aluminum. The video demonstrates that objects do not sink in lava as depicted in movies, and highlights the intense heat and reactions of different materials when exposed to molten lava.
