Hey Ellen! this video is awesome haha, that would be so fun to do.
I was just wondering if you will ever have David Archuleta on your show. That would be amazing. I watch your show everyday and everyday i always think "is he going to be on today?!" then no...he isn't haha.I would do ANYTHING to meet him, it would be a dream come true to meet him! He is an awsome amazing singer and a great role model. If you happen to even get this message, which probably won't happen, but if you do, please have David A on your show, that would be amazing!

I found the ink thing and the cornstarch experiment and a lot of Steve Spangler's experiments are on his website. Just Google Steve Spangler Science and you'll find it.

That's so cool. We play with cornstarch and water at our daycare - the kids love it. It would be so fun to have a huge tub of it like you had on the show.
Keep up the cool stuff, we really enjoy it.

I LOVED the corn starch demo! I work with students at an elementary science lab and we make this mixture(oobleck) on a small scale to illustrate liquid and solid properties. I am hoping to be able to show this video to my students.
