    When I was a freshman in Highschool, my science teacher had each of us pick a experiment to research, write a hypothesis about what we'd think would happen with our experiment, do the experiment, then write an essay about if we were wrong or not. I came up with "can a potato give charge to a cellphone". Long story short, yes. I did the experiment, made a PowerPoint about it, and turned it in. For some reason, my teacher thought I lied and that potatos can't give charge to a phone. I tried explaining and showing him that he was wrong but he didn't want to budge. A science teacher, didn't want to look at proof cause it would prove him wrong. Ironic right? He gave me a 0, and ofc I went to the principal to complain and get the grade redone. Principal said they'd look into it. Never got the chance to see the outcome cause I transferred to another school before anything came of it, but I'm still salty about it.

      This reminds me of when I was in middle school at one of my science teachers had a question on a test that which of these materials can produce a magnetic field. If I remember correctly there was metal and ceramic on it. You can see what's about to happen right. So obviously I choose ceramic because of ceramic superconductor. Because I've always been that sort of person. I was technically correct but that didn't go over very well. It's been a very long time but I'm still a bit salty about it even if I don't remember everything very well anymore.
      Although to be fair I knew exactly what I was doing and I decided superconductors were the hill to start a giant fight on.

    • @1lovesoni
      @1lovesoni 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +115

      The science teacher at my arts focused middle school made MANY bizarre and wrong statements. My favorites being the following:
      -While doing a lab that involved inflating baloons, she advised, "Don't breathe any air back in from the balloon because carbon monoxide is poisonous" (I desperately wanted to respond by asking how CPR works).
      -At another point, she was explaining infrared light and stated, "Infrared light can also carry heat better than higher spectrum light, and it's commonly used for electronic remote controls. This is why a CD or DVD player gets warm if you've been using the controller a lot"
      I'm almost certain that she wasn't originally supposed to be a science teacher, but I guess that's where the only open position at our specific school was. She often taught directly from the teaching guide-book.

      My father had a similar opinion. Plus, he reasoned that we could do significantly more interesting/dangerous experiments with his supervision/input. Stuff like making smoke bombs and model rocket engines from sugar & salt peter (potassium nitrate), or playing with a cloud chamber and uranium ore. Basically, stuff that almost ANY 10-14yo boy would find extremely cool and fascinating, but no at-home kit or school class would ever dream of allowing.

    My grandma brought one for me on my 10th birthday that was just a huge box to make crystals but had to throw it away due to controversy (this was Japan) and because we live as a clan we live in quite a big estate.
    It was forgotten about and left in a random warm cupboard were it wasn't touched again till I was 20 so 10 years during the process it had leaked from the top shelf all the way to the floor and surroundings so when a maid opened the cupboard for some reason it looked like she came across something straight out of a cave/crystal mine 😂
    She ran to the head maid panicking that we had some weird mold or life form growing in it because it looked wild at first glance lmao my uncles got dressed up in cleaning suits and resperators expecting something bad but couldn't stop laughing when they saw the box.
    It was a nightmare to clean apparently but I always wondered what and extra 10 or 20 years would do!

      @@theonlycatonice TD:LR huh yup I guess I can see how that kinda matches up, but tbh you could look at any of the rich Japanese families and say the same thing they live pretty wild life's I've been to some weird ass partys
      Also more explanation towards the 1. 2. 3. You put down don't mind my rambling it's a bad habit of a writer who has ADHD 🤣
      1. Clans are still pretty common these days usually stubborn families stuck to tradition, big business family's like mine under one ruled matriarchal or patriarchal system mine being a matriarchal family and as for the estate thing that's just a general rich family thing, though I think they're going more out of style in modern times but traditional Japanese estates are a bliss to live in I could die happy looking out my window during the cherry blossom season 🤣 super freaking pretty I'm super lucky due to health issues I'm being looked after by my family head, oh right there's still military and crime clans(yakuza is slowly dying out to a more modernization of crime organisations unlike it used to be here)too probably the 2nd and 3rd most popular types.
      2. It differs between people, family's and there Livin situation, wealthy families in an apartment complex will probably not have staff on hand in house but instead on site building and mainly cook and clean to a wide majority of family's under the apartment complex but in estates that are old like ours the house keeper team can be anywhere from 10 to 100 depending on building size and the required jobs, we have a generalized house keeper system with a head maid and butler who do admin as well, but my situation is difficult so I've been assigned my own staffing since my side of the building requires people knowledgeable in medical care and 1on1 waiting I'm prone to accidents and my medical issues can flare up fast im pretty independent but having people help in medical setup, pushing my wheelchair and so on takes alot of stress off my shoulders! So I obviously have a head maid in charge of this team, who she's under the main head maid but you'll find children from birth to like 13 tend to have there own maid and caring teams too I have loads of younger siblings and cousin's I feel great sympathy for those staff 🤣
      3. Ah right I can't link things around here and my memory is awful so take with a grain of salt but it was similar to how iron on bead kits could be used to make date Grape drugs, the chemical's in the science kit included similar materials for a very similar kinda drug if I remember correctly so that's why it was put way out of site in a place frankly no one visits only in rare occasions lmao
      Frankly alot of old science kits and experiment diy toys end up being found in the weirdest of situations, we thought my building was haunted but it turned out to be a robo dino toy with battery's dying slowly since I was like 6-7 my head maid remembers the toy going missing at some point apparently somehow for god knows reason I or someone had hidden it behind a floor board 😅 so over the years you'd hear a distant roar and creek truly was creepy when heard at night.
      I hope that gives you some insight on things, frankly I'm bored and have no more manga so I'm just sitting hear rambling apologies also English is my 3rd language so might be some hiccups on explanations.

    The first: my dad sabotaging a flashlight, setting it in front of my sister and I at the kitchen table, and making us write down and test every hypothesis until we figured out why it wasn't working. (IIRC he put a tiny piece of plastic on one of the battery ends to block it.)
    The second: buying one of those glow-on-the-dark fossils buried in dusty brick from a museum gift shop after I dropped out of college, and spending the rest of the afternoon digging into it with my best friend at the smoothie shop across the street.

    I remember a science kit I had when I was a kid back in the 80's. This would have been before there was any of this "Health and Safety" nonsense for kids toys!
    There were about 40 glass test tubes with rubber stoppers containing different raw ingredients, about 20 empty test tubes, several glass straw-like tubes, a small wick burner like in 7:29, a bottle of methylated spirits, spare wick for the burner and a massive instruction book on what to mix together to create fun and interesting experiments. It also gave instructions on how to use the burner to heat up the glass straws and shape them for use in other condensation experiments.
    My favourite was the burning of the magnesium ribbon strip. Fun times.

An LED works very similarly to the copper sulfate from the first experiment but in reverse. The electrons jump down in energy level as they flow across the diode, causing them to emit a photon

    Methanol makes you go blind, among numerous other bad things, including death. What is interesting is that it seems to be countered by ethanol. There was a curious case in either the Soviet Union, or in post-Soviet Russia, some French company came in for a joint project or whatnot, and brought in its machinery for the job. The French would use methanol to polish the machinery parts, and after the project was done, they left and took their machinery with them, but left a canister of methanol. Well, since its an alcohol, the factory workers where the project was held decided to drink it, and they did, and they all ended up dead. All, save for one guy, who was an actual alcoholic. When the doctors investigated him, it turned out that the methanol was countered by the ethanol that was already in his body, so he survived. I don't know if he was blind or had other complications after the ordeal, but it's still curious.
    That is to say, I wouldn't advise anyone to try this at home.

    • @StarlightSocialist
      @StarlightSocialist 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      If I remember correctly, the reason this works is that methanol and ethanol get broken down through the same metabolic pathway. Methanol _itself_ isn't that bad, but as Matt said, it gets broken down into formaldehyde, which really is that bad. Your body can also metabolize formaldehyde but not very quickly; less rapidly than it can process methanol. So normally the level of formaldehyde just keeps rising, with increasingly nasty effects.
      But if ethanol is also present, then it'll be competing with the methanol for the available enzymes. This slows down the rate that methanol is metabolized, which slows the rate that formaldehyde gets produced. Effectively the body has more time to clean up the toxic waste/repair the damage it caused.
