What happens when you mix red (hot) and blue (cold) water? Because hot water is less dense than cold water, the layers stay separate instead of mixing. This remix reel (@mrs.b.tv) shows the same principle explains how warm and cold fronts form in Earth’s atmosphere.

These tea bag ghosts don’t just look spooky, they FLY thanks to science! This video stitch (@mrs.b.tv) explains that as the fire heats the air, convection makes the warm air rise, carrying the ghosts up with it. ⚠️ Try this indoors with adult supervision.

Did you know astronauts age slower in space? Thanks to time dilation, their high speeds aboard the ISS make time tick a little slower than on Earth! But don’t pack your bags yet. After 6 months, they’re only about 0.005 seconds younger. Still, pretty mind-blowing!
