A lot goes on during this visit to the Ellen DeGeneres show. During the first segment, Spangler demonstrates the ability of the human body to act as a conductor of electricity and he shows the clean burning properties of hydrogen and oxygen gas. The second segment is probably the most useful for your physical science learners. Using a mixture of cornstarch and water, the sometimes solid and sometimes liquid mixture displays an unusual set of behaviors. Viewers will thoroughly enjoy watching this video. Consider having them whip up a batch of this material and examine the qualities of a colloid.
