our first guest tonight are students of our
science teacher friend Lee Merrick so it goes without saying that they're all lucky to be
alive are the kids scientists kids how you doing you like science you enjoy science
yeah you say always use it for good never for evil all right you promise me that always
always use your science for good not evil okay what is your name Amelia Schuster Amelia
Schuster from Naperville okay it's in Illinois huh yeah you like living in Illinois I guess
yeah Illinois
is the is the what state it's the uh like Prairie State the Prairie State
whatever it's the no no it's the it's the what is it what else is Illinois Illinois
is the uh corn corn steak yes very good Illinois is the um [Music] education State
the education state he's just making stuff up aren't you Land of Lincoln Land of Lincoln
ever heard of Land of Lincoln yeah yeah what about Landon Lincoln what did it kill you
to cough that one up [Applause] uh they're still thinking about the giant
donut Ame
lia yeah yeah how old are you 12 12 brothers and sisters a little younger brother
and an older sister everything's good at home you get along well with your sisters and brothers
not really really what's the problem is there trouble is there turmoil do you fight like
cats and dogs what's going on I don't know we just don't like each other really really
they ring a bell Paul but you like science that's something isn't it and you have a little
science demonstration for us here tonight okay I'll jus
t follow you through it here
we go Amelia we need this all right there you go some glasses compliment oh you have
something okay right [Applause] oh wow Paul it's at Light FM you listen to
all the time the Carpenters oh I love that sound and what I'm going to show is energy transformation
energy transformation all right and what I have here is butane Under Pressure whoa but
you're just a kid can you should you be handling butane under any circumstances for get under
pressure that's probably not
a good idea but then who
cares let's go what do you do there now should I put these on do you have yours on well I'm
glad I'm late for later well do we need them now or later later oh what about these do
I need these now or later yeah now now my eyes [Applause] what about the kids don't they get them or
we don't we just don't care about them hey boys here just ring a bell we couldn't afford
four of them can you hear me okay and um what you need to do is light the
match and drop it in but I'm lik
ing the matching drop it yeah be in the car right and then
you have to have to let go away really quick I have to do what you have to walk like get
away after you kids get out here get view kids go way over there you go away over the
call tell the band to get down everybody get down all right I got the thing seriously get
down kids don't don't be screwing around here get down everybody get down like this I want
to see it down everybody okay here we go just like this [Music] huh that's pretty goo
d nice gun congratulations
[Applause] well you guys you guys got your work cut out
for you now you got a pretty good science experiment what's your name Nate Coppell Nate
Nate Nate nice to see you you have a family brothers sisters really annoying brothers
uh and are they older are they younger both older and they push you around a little bit
yeah well that's that's what older brother touched a nerve there well all right so but the important thing
Nate is you like science you find that an enjoya
ble outlet for your inquisitive mind
and the recreation as well is that correct yes okay what are we going to do here uh I'm
going to be demonstrating Newton's third law it's going to be demonstrating Newton's third
law which is uh objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by some outside
force no yeah [Applause] you're gonna watch me light the bottle again his third law for every action there is an
equal and opposite right oh yes for every action there is an equal and opposite reac
tion
great what do we do how do we do this let's let's go well first thing I need to warm it
up because it's cold in here what do you want exactly the cannon warming up the cannon you're gonna need your guide oh here we go
again lucky to get out with my life and my goggle all right okay what about the friends
here everybody they don't need them they should wear their goggles yeah we put your goggles
on tell that other kid to put his goggles on too tell the other kid we may not have
time for him
too [Applause] here we go I want you to use this layer to ignite the
fuel touch your feet right here the hole in the top okay everybody get down again same
as before get out get out get ready to get up get behind the desk you two here we go
[Music] that scared me that's pretty good that's pretty
good that scared me that scared me silly thank you very much Nate I hope everything works
out at home here sir Scott off it Scott nice to see you buddy how are you good you know
the three of you guys all
go to school nope I go to Cary Illinois so it's a different
School altogether so did you meet on the plane coming out here um yeah things going along
pretty well everybody having a nice time have you ever been to New York City before yes
oh have you been before as well yeah I used to
live in Buffalo oh well [Applause] one day Paul you and I should plan a trip to Napierville
yeah all right Scott was this Scott yep all right
Scott what are we going to do well I'm going to show you with this bowli
ng ball about conservation
of energy conservation of energy all right now I want you to stand right here I'll stand
right here yeah okay right here right here and I want you to hold this bowling ball up
tune up all right now Scott promise we know screwing around you know what I mean Packy
he'll hold it right up to my nose please get out of the line of the don't don't press it
against your nose don't press it against my nose that's the first thing they teach you
in Bowling by the way don't press
the ball against your nose um yeah that's good the other one is don't
lick the pins that's rule number two all right here we go now when I say go I want
you to let go all right but I'm worried about the kids kids please please now when you let
go the energy in the ball will turn into energy of motion as it swings in a low Arc all right
it's going to come back but normally it would smack into your face you're lucky it won't
smack in your face yeah there's a stroke friction in the Rope friction ye
ah and it slows the
ball down so it's going to land just short of hitting you is this also a physics law
that we would not what is the law it's the law of conservation of energy basically okay
um can I go now you ready well don't push it don't push it just let go and don't move
your head forward okay I'm not going just like this ready go Anton [Music] [Applause] the kids thank you very much have a nice trip
back to Illinois nice job thank you great job Amelia pleasure to meet you traveling
