Aired (April 6, 2025): Have you ever wondered why some things float while others sink? In this experiment, we're testing how salt water affects the buoyancy of different balls!

00:00Oh! Blind box!
00:04Wow! Let's open it!
00:08I want that blind box!
00:11Okay, do you want to open it?
00:12Unboxing time!
00:14Unboxing time!
00:15Okay, 1, 2, 3, go!
00:22Wow!
00:24Hey!
00:25What do you have?
00:26I saw something.
00:27There's a letter.
00:28Here, there's a letter for you.
00:30There's a letter, okay.
00:32Then, there's a ball.
00:34There's a golf ball.
00:37There's a ping pong ball.
00:39That's all?
00:40Let's see.
00:42Ah, there's more!
00:43Oh, what's that?
00:45Mini billiard ball!
00:47Okay, okay, okay.
00:49We have three balls from our blind box.
00:51What are we going to do with these?
00:53Oh, there's a message for me.
00:54Ball, ball.
00:56Guess what will happen to the three balls
00:59if you drop them in a glass with water and salt.
01:02Really?
01:03That's why we have three glasses here.
01:06Let's test it.
01:07What do you think?
01:09Nick, Nick.
01:10That's just a joke, Chris.
01:12Of course, it will fall.
01:13Are you sure?
01:14Yes.
01:15But, wait.
01:17I don't think so.
01:19You're asking too much.
01:21No, I'm just asking because
01:23I haven't seen what will really happen yet.
01:25So, it's better if we experiment.
01:27You're right, Chris.
01:29That's why, Nick, it's important to experiment
01:32so that we can know what will happen
01:34to the things that we're just thinking about.
01:36It's like a receipt for your idea, right?
01:38Correct.
01:40So, that just means one thing.
01:43Mind Box Challenge!
01:44Let's do this!
01:46Okay, let's do this.
01:47Ate Shaira, for our experiment,
01:48we'll see what will happen to the three balls
01:51that we got from our blind box
01:53if we drop it on a glass
01:56that has water and salt.
02:00Ate Shaira, do you want to go first?
02:02Okay.
02:03Let's start with the ping pong ball.
02:05Ping pong first.
02:06Okay.
02:07Here's the glass.
02:11There!
02:12I told you.
02:13The ping pong ball fell on the floor.
02:15That's right, Nick, Nick.
02:17Now, let's look at the golf ball.
02:19What do you think, Nick, Nick?
02:20What do you think of the golf ball?
02:22Okay, it fell on the floor.
02:23It also fell on the floor.
02:24It also fell on the floor.
02:25Okay.
02:26One, two, three.
02:28Wow!
02:29It fell on the floor.
02:30That's good, Nick.
02:31It fell on the floor.
02:32You got two points already.
02:33You got two points already.
02:34That's right, it fell on the floor.
02:35It's heavy, right?
02:36But notice,
02:37on the bottom of the surface,
02:38it fell on the floor.
02:39Yes, Ate.
02:40Not on the top.
02:41Correct.
02:42Here.
02:43It's totally above water.
02:44Yes.
02:45Here, only the top is above the surface
02:48or above the water.
02:49The rest is below the water.
02:50It fell on the floor.
02:51It fell on the floor.
02:52Okay, okay.
02:54Nick, what do you think of this mini billiard ball?
02:57Of course, it also fell on the floor
02:59because it's the smallest.
03:01Let's see.
03:02Here it is.
03:03Let's see.
03:04Three, two, one.
03:06Wow!
03:07It's straight, right?
03:08Why did it fall on the floor?
03:10That's the smallest ball.
03:14That's because this billiard ball
03:16is the densest of the three.
03:19It has something to do with density.
03:22If one thing is heavy,
03:24its density is high.
03:25And the atoms in the material
03:28or in the object are small.
03:29The ping pong ball is the least dense
03:32because it's full of air inside.
03:34There's no air inside.
03:35It's light, right?
03:36It's really light.
03:37That's why it fell on the floor.
03:38The golf ball is heavy
03:41but it also has air pockets inside.
03:44That's why it's heavy
03:47but it's not that dense.
03:49Okay.
03:50That's why it fell on the floor.
03:52And because it's solid
03:54and there's no air inside the billiard ball,
03:56it's heavier and denser
03:58compared to the ping pong ball
03:59and the golf ball.
04:00And boom!
04:01It sank straight to the bottom.
04:03It sank to the bottom of the water.
04:05The size of the ball doesn't matter
04:07if it sank to the bottom of the water.
04:09It really depends on the density.
04:11Oh, I see.
04:13Now I know!
04:14I-O-V-E!
