For your elephant toothpaste experiment to work fully, I have figured out that your warm water and dry yeast mixture has to be the same thickness/consistency as over the counter cough syrup.

i tried to dilute the 50% hydrogen peroxide with water but it still didn't work i don't now what I'm doing wrong. but how much water should use with the hydrogen peroxide 50%.should it be like 50/50 or something else ?

+fabio kurniawan Try diluting it to a quarter of it's concentration. So 1 part Hydrogen peroxide and 3 parts water and try again. If that doesn't work I will give you more exact numbers.

+fabio kurniawan I know you commented that you got it working but here are some tips for others who may have the same problem. - Check the expiry on the yeast - Check how old the hydrogen peroxide is, the newer the better - Follow the directions on the container of yeast to properly activate it. - We found that hydrogen peroxide concentrations over around 12-15% would be too strong for the yeast. But if someone gets higher concentrations to work let us know.

Jose Suba Hydrogen peroxide can stay in a container for a long while. If you are wanting to show this in school or at a fair, I would suggest measuring out both th hydrogen peroxide and water out and mixing them before you do the experiment but it shouldn't harm it to be in a sealed container. Just mix extra together because the hydrogen peroxide will break down. Also the foam will dissipate so I wouldn't' take that in a container.

lilly bee Hi lilly, I am not 100% sure if liquid peroxide is the same as hydrogen peroxide. I think it is but the best way to tell is to check the ingredients or the fine print on the bottle and see if the chemical listed in it is hydrogen peroxide or something else. As for your second question the gases released from this experiment are not hazardous because the gas product is oxygen. I would caution that you don't smell the hydrogen peroxide directly as it can cause irritation to the lungs and throat but as long as you don't smell it directly it's fine to be in a classroom. One last thing, when handling hydrogen peroxide always use gloves, goggles and an apron or lab coat and make sure to replace the lid between uses.

lilly bee Lilly you don't ever have to apologize for being curious and asking us questions. The best scientists in the world ask tons of questions and are curious about everything. We are here to help you learn and asking questions is an important part to learning. If you use the ingredients in our video then the final foamy product of this reaction isn't dangerous, just don't get it in your mouth or eyes. You can clean it up with warm water and pour it down the sink, since most of it is soap bubbles and water. The elephant toothpaste we create in this episode shouldn't get too hot, you should be able to touch but be cautious and it may be good to test it with a thermometer first. As far as the clean up of hydrogen peroxide, use paper towel and rubber gloves, wipe it up and toss out the towels. I am not sure if you should touch 9% hydrogen peroxide as a liquid, I would check the bottle for any safety information and precautions. If it's the peroxide from the first aid section of a drug store then it shouldn't be dangerous to touch, but again check the label to be sure.

Guys- I Love this stuff... Can you help me with a viscosity dilemma? There is a product I want to acquire in bulk for classroom and retail use, but I do not want to make the mistake of ordering the wrong product and being stuck with gallons. I am looking to find out what viscosity a silicone oil should be to pass through a pump spray bottle. Lifespan sells a product in a 4 oz spray bottle that is perfect for our use and if I can find out the viscosity, I can acquire the product from a better source in bulk. Lifespan is not helpful in this as they want to market their own maintenance product. They do not provide a material data sheet for their product. Just a helpful push, a hint or even a nod.... PEACE
