Defying Gravity: Experiments with Science Max

✨Gravity is the force that makes things fall towards the ground, but we can use science to defy it.

🔋By using batteries, magnets, and copper wire, we can create an electromagnet motor that spins.

🥚Eggs are stronger than they seem due to their egg-shaped structure, which helps distribute weight and withstand pressure.

🧲Magnets and ferromagnetic substances, like ferrofluid and putty, can interact in fascinating ways and create unique patterns.

🌀Springs can defy gravity by distributing tension and weight, allowing certain parts to stay in place while others move.

Can an egg really hold up a person's weight?

—No, an egg cannot hold a person's weight. Although eggs are surprisingly strong due to their egg-shaped structure, they have limits.

What is electromagnetism?

—Electromagnetism is the interaction between electricity and magnetism. It is the foundation of many scientific principles and technologies.

How does a spring defy gravity?

—Springs distribute tension and weight, allowing certain parts to stay in place while others move. This equilibrium creates the illusion of defying gravity.

What is ferrofluid?

—Ferrofluid is a unique liquid that becomes magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. It forms intricate shapes and patterns due to magnetic forces.

Can I try these experiments at home?

—Yes, these experiments can be recreated at home with proper safety precautions. Always follow instructions and seek adult supervision if needed.
