I want to know what Stacey grew up to be. She was always super sharp.

I'll bet those microwaves from that time still work today,while new ones last 5 years at most
I'm so excited that this channel exists. I was trying to explain to my three children that a man in the late 80's named Mr Wizard, taught me science and gave me a thirst for knowledge at a young age. I was hoping to find a video on KZread but I found all the videos on KZread! Thank you!

His 1950s-60s episodes were much more in-depth... and all kids get today is Sellout Nye. Society is definitely moving backwards 🤣
I'm slightly disappointed he didn't say one word about how the beads they start with are made. (The plastic is mixed with gas like nitrogen while it's molten in a high-pressure atmosphere, then allowed to cool and turn solid before the pressure is released. Gently melting the plastic allows the tiny high pressure bubbles to become larger, low pressure bubbles.)

Mr. Wizard missed a perfect opertunity to have molten plastic with high pressure in a television studio where children are present. Mr. Wizard, you COWARD! :-D

@@kokobunni5897 If you watch his earlier show in the 60's he seems much more patience. That being said the kids back then seemed more in the know, so he did not seem like he had to explain so much.

I remember this, I also remember misunderstanding this and tossing chunks of Styrofoam int.o our macaroni in an attempt to fill the pan with styrofoam
Fantastic!! I’m so glad I can rewatch these old episodes. Mr. Wizard was, and still is, the best TV science guy.
Mr Wizard was Gen X Bill Nye...and he was friggin awesome!
I blame this exact video for my thermo plastic addiction!!
I literally made a bag of popcorn before watching this episode. By the end, my stomach asplodeded. XD

That glass pot that he is using when I was a kid in the late 80s my mom was cooking spaghetti sauce and one of those glass pots and it exploded like a grenade throughout the kitchen glass went everywhere like shrapnel luckily nobody got hurt
That wasn't 3 minutes

"...we'll add some of the yellow." It's orange.
Thank you.
Anyone else notice at the very beginning he mistakenly called her Christian?
Mr. Wizard: "Christian, you've seen little cases like this haven't you?" Stacey: my name's Stacey Mr. Wizard: "....and because it's a gold fish, we'll put in some of the yellow" Stacey: but it's orange Mr. Wizard to producer: I am NEVER working with that kid again.....all she does is argue...
What's her name?
The styrofoam retains its shape; the golfish and the beakerful fell apart. Why? And where to get these magic beads?
I wonder what all of these kids are up to nowadays.
which chemical use in styrofoam.......tell me the name of chemicals
