This experiment is one of the hardest experiments you would need to do in college/high school for general chemistry if you’re forced into doing it.

I'm a 29 year old mother watching this at 1 am and I'm blown away. Haha! I just really like the bit where you can see it all change when he's pouring it, it's absolutely incredible.

It's quite easy and safe to do at home. Even with your children. The ingredients are non-toxic for the most part. The iodine could be a problem if they drank it, but that's nothing some supervision and a warning won't prevent. Especially if you do it while they watch. How much they're involved is obviously at your discretion and depends on age. All you need is iodine tincture (NOT povidone iodine), which you can get at any pharmacy, feel free to ask them if you can't find it, some regular corn starch, vitamin c tablets, and peroxide. That's it. Nothing fancy. Nothing dangerous. As for actually doing it, there are many videos on KZbin that explain it. I'll give my own explanation and then link to a credible video with instructions below my own instructions. Which should be pretty much the same. But just in case I forget a detail, you never know. You start with 2 glasses (preferably clear) that you're going to mix up your ingredients in. In the first glass, add the bottle of iodine, maybe 100ml (4oz) of lukewarm water, and maybe an ounce or two (doesn't need to be exact) of peroxide. The solution should go from a yellowish color to clear, which I think is neat in itself. Crush up 2 to 4 (2000mg) of the vitamin c tablets and in your second glass pour 100ml of warm to hot water, less than 1 teaspoon of starch, and the vitamin c. The starch never fully dissolves, so it's left cloudy. In the video he filters off the excess starch, but you don't need to bother filtering anything. You can if you want, but it has no bearing on the end results. It's just to make it more clear. Stir both mixtures for 2-3 minutes to make sure everything's dissolved properly, and you're good to go. Just pour them together, maybe give it a little stir, and hopefully it should work. The beauty part about this is the amounts don't have to be exact, and most of the ingredients are in most houses. I just had a bit of trouble finding the iodine. I had to ask the pharmacist where it was. Depending on the amounts of peroxide and vitamin c you use, the time it takes to change colors will be longer or shorter. So, play around with it and see what happens. There really is no wrong way to do it. Unless you drink it. lol. As for clean-up. Everything is safe to just pour down the sink and you can simply wash everything with soap and water. No big deal. Here's a link to a short (2 min) video by NileRed showing how to do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DUgZWrpJaGldU&ab_channel=NileRedShorts Hope you guys have fun! I cannot encourage you enough to try this. And if for some reason you do it wrong, like I did the first time, don't be afraid to try again. Buy a couple of bottles of iodine just in case. They're only maybe $2 or $3 each. Very cheap.

I want to add your you tube channel to my website. My 11 year old will love this. He is part of a science club and they will love it. Simply wonderful
