Science
- The 12-year-old student learned about the properties of different liquids and their effects on various materials through the experiment conducted in the video.
- They gained an understanding of chemical reactions and their impact on objects, such as the difference between acid and lava and how they interact with different substances.
- They learned about the scientific method and how to conduct experiments safely and methodically, as demonstrated by Mark Rober in the video.
After watching the video, encourage the 12-year-old to conduct their own simple experiments using safe materials at home, such as testing the effects of different liquids on household items and documenting their findings. This hands-on approach can further solidify their understanding of chemical reactions and strengthen their scientific inquiry skills.
