Shhh! The Secret of…

The Original Black BoxWhy do the strings behave like they do?

What is inside?


The Original Black Box

The “Classic” Magician’s Trick

How can you make a classic science magic demonstration into one your

students will remember?

It’s all about the

presentation!

The “Classic” Magician’s Trick


Pull the tablecloth sharply DOWN!

...or an example of Inertia on STEROIDS!

Nickel-Match Challenge

5 cent

s

Remove the match WITHOUT touching the table, match, nickel or glass!

Nickel-Match Challenge

Use Fur & Plastic Tube or ANY static charge combination

Hint… You could use a Canadian Coin if you want to add another type of Force… Magnetism!

Mystery Music TubeWhy is there no sound produced in the

magic mystery tube?

Same length, diameter and material…

Hmmm…

Mystery Music Tube


* There are NO ridges INSIDE of a Vacuum Cleaner Hose! The lack of ridges fails to set up a vibrating air column, no standing wave is produced and NO SOUND is heard!

Magic cupWhen the H2O-filled glass is inverted, why is the plastic cover still in place?

The Endless Energy Bottle

Draw what is actually inside the bottle to make it perform its trick…

OR

Draw what could be a reasonably

scientific explanation for why the bottle performs

its trick.


Thirsty bottlePVC tubing glued to inside neck of bottle

Hole near top of bottle to allow air inside AFTER inverting.

PVC tubing does NOT reach all the way to the bottom of the bottle.

Daily Physics ChallengeDISCREPANT EVENT Challenge1. Two Darts, one REGULAR dart, the other a WEIGHTED Dart, are dropped from the same height at the same time. Which Dart hits the ground first?

2. Two Darts, one REGULAR dart, the other a WEIGHTED Dart, are FIRED HORIZONTALLY from a DART GUN. What will happen to the two darts?

3.Two Darts, one REGULAR dart, the other a WEIGHTED Dart, are now FIRED VERTICALLY DOWNWARD from the SAME DART GUN. Which dart hits the ground first?

a)The Regular Dart

b)The weighted dart

c)It will be a tie


The Dart Paradox

Lump of clay

The weighted dart will STILL accelerate at a slower rate OUT OF THE GUN even if the darts are aim

downward!

Why does the ball take so long to travel down the aluminum track? Since the track is NOT attracted to a magnet, what can be the reason?

Watch the ball accelerate down the alumuinum

track...


The “Magic” Track

The Neodymium magnet rolls slower down the Aluminum track EVEN THOUGH the magnet is NOT attracted to the track! This is because of “Lenz’s Law”; an electric field is produced by the rolling magnet which in turn produces its own magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field which originally created it.

The “impossible” inertia ring challenge

Remove the hoop to allow the wooden dowel to fall into the

flask.

A classic demo with a twist!


The “impossible” inertia ring challenge

Hit the “inside” of the flexible ring quickly so

that it goes unnoticed by the students!

Hoop is cut from a plastic paint

pail

Objects will fall SLOWER in air

than in a vacuum!

Free Fall Vacuum tube

Sliding your finger into the hole presents the illusion of falling slower through air!


Free Fall Vacuum tube

Without the sail, the Fan Cart moves to the right.

When the sail is attached to the cart, what will happen?

A. The Fan Cart will move to the right.B. The Fan Cart will move to the left.C. The Fan Cart will not move.

DISCREPANT EVENT Challenge

Fan cart“For every Force, there is an equal and opposite Force”… Newton’s 3rd Law

With the “sail” on board & perpendicular to the Force caused by the fan blades, Newton’s 3rd Law is easily observed.

Since the “Wall” AND Fan are both attached to the cart, the equal & opposite forces cause no net motion of the cart.

What happens when the tube is dropped WHILE making a sound?

Free Fall zoob tube

What happens when the tube is thrown upward WHILE making a sound?

All parts are in Free Fall when the tube is dropped so since no part can drop faster than “g”, the Zoob tube makes no sound!

Free Fall zoob tube

All parts are in Free Fall when the tube is thrown upward so since each part is being slowed at “g”, the Zoob tube makes no sound!

DAILY fizziks CHALLENGE

Balloon Black BoxChoose only ONE answer!

1. The pink balloon will inflate & the yellow balloon will deflate.

2. The pink balloon will deflate & the yellow balloon will inflate.

3. Both balloons will inflate.

4. Both balloons will deflate.

5. Nothing happens. [Both balloons will stay as they are.]


Balloon mystery

A larger force is exerted on the air molecules inside the balloon when the

balloon is smaller than when it has been slightly inflated.

“Black Box... The Trained Can”

Draw what is actually inside the can to make it perform its “trick”...

ORDraw what could be a reasonably scientific explanation for why it performs its trick.


Trained canAs the can rolls, the rubber bands wind up because the weight attached to the rubber bands is heavy. Don’t roll your can too far because the rubber bands will flip the weight!

Since moving charges create magnetic fields, the...E & M Bulb Demo shows the relationship in a unique way!

DC AC1)What will occur when a magnet

is held near an unlit bulb filament?

2)What will occur when a magnet is held near a lit bulb wired in DC?

3)What will occur when a magnet is held near a lit bulb wired in AC?

Discrepant Lightbulb

Black box challenge

By observation only, draw what is in the bottle.
