IntroductionGreetings! I am thankful that you have joined me today at Fizzlebop Labs. In fact, I’m feeling besonders dankbar (which means “extra thankful” in German). Our experiment is quite fun, and I think it’ll have you giggling a bit when you’re done. Be sure to have everyone participate and make their very own squishy turkey. WARNING! This experiment requires borax. Safety first! Do not ingest borax. Fizzlebop Supply List:
The Experiment:
“Dr. Fizzlebop, what’s happening?” In this experiment, two of the ingredients—glue and borax—mix together to form long chains of molecules. These chains are called polymers. The water allows these polymers to move around inside the glove. When they do, they stretch and stick together. Collecting Your Family’s Data

IntroductionHave you ever wondered why the moon seems so bright at night? Did you know that the moon doesn’t create its own light? Instead, it reflects the light of the sun. The moon looks different depending on its position and the location of the sun. That’s how we have different phases of the moon. Astronomers (who are scientists that study everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere) even have names for when the moon looks different, including supermoon, blood moon, blue moon, harvest moon, and more. Have you ever seen one of these special moon phases? Today we’re going to check out the basic phases of the moon with a yummy methodology (which means process.) Fizzlebop Supply List
The Experiment1. Carefully and slowly twist the two sections of Oreo in opposite directions. This will increase the amount of frosting on one side. Now pull the two sides apart. FIZZ TIP: If your frosting sticks to both sides, you’ll need to eat the cookie and try again. 2. Once you have a majority of frosting on one side of the Oreo, use the spoon to scoop away frosting according to the Oreo Cookie Moon Phase Guide. 3. Now arrange the cookies in the order of the Oreo Cookie Moon Phase Guide and observe. FIZZ TIP: If it’s nighttime, look outside and see what phase the moon is in right now. 4. Finally, eat your moon phases and enjoy! Fizzilicious! Fizz FactsDid you know the moon moves about 3.8 cm (almost 1.5 in.) away from the Earth each year? As of early 2023, only twelve humans have walked on the moon, but that’s likely to change in the coming years. Maybe you’ll be one of those humans. If you are, you’ll feel a lot lighter since the moon’s gravity is only 1/6th of the Earth’s gravity. If you do go, be sure to take your copy of Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop with you. Collecting Your Family’s DataWhat phase is the moon currently in? Which Oreo cookie moon phase tasted best? Oreo Moon Phase Chart Greetings! You already know how much I love fizz, and today we get to use a lot—and I mean a lot—of fizz. I feel fizztastic just thinking about it, and you should too! So gather all the scientists in your house and get ready for another fun-filled fizzy experiment. Fizzlebop Supply List
The Experiment
“Dr. Fizzlebop, what’s happening?”Did you know that baking soda is considered a base (a compound that can neutralize an acid or react with an acid to form a salt) and vinegar is an acid (a chemical substance that can neutralize or dissolve some substances)? When baking soda and vinegar mix, they cause a chemical reaction—the reaction between the base and the acid creates carbon dioxide gas. And because gas expands, it fills the bottle, but the bottle’s sides don’t grow with the gas. The excess gas goes up into the balloon, causing it to inflate. Collecting Your Family’s DataHow quickly did the chemical reaction start once the base and acid were combined? Did the balloon expand to different sizes when you used different amounts of baking soda? If yes, write down your measurement of the balloon’s size every time you used a different amount of baking soda. Share your answers in the comments below.  Dr. Fizzlebop walks fellow scientists through a super simple, colorful, and FIZZTASTIC experiment about fizz and hearts! Fizzlebop Lab assistants will have a fizzy fun time making these STEAM focused hearts for Valentine's Day. Give you a friend, parent, grandparent, sibling, or the one you love! These Fizzy Heart works for Art will bring happiness to someone you love!
The Lava Lamp Experiment was the second-ever appearance of Dr. Fizzlebop. This episode was created especially for Tyndale Kids' Summer Camp, which launched in 2020 as an effort to reach kids and families with hope during the beginning of the pandemic. This episode led to the creation of Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop devotional and launched the Fizzlebop web series.
