Description of the franchise. "Professor Nicol's Science Show": Business on worms, dry ice and chemical experiments Nicol's chemical show

Hello!
At the end of 2013, the publishing house "Mann, Ivanov and Ferber" published my book "Experiments of Professor Nicolas". In it, I collected experiments that can be easily prepared at home, described them and provided large number photos.

We tried very hard to make the book interesting, and I would like to know your opinion about it.

Under the cut detailed information about the book:
()

This quality book is a great gift for a child.
After reading this book as a family and experimenting a lot, you will definitely agree with our motto that

Science is great!
I will be glad for your feedback and comments.

Hello dear guest!!!

Now most of my posts are open.
Under lock and key personal posts and photos. If you want to read everything, knock. And write a little about yourself, I will be glad to meet you :)

Happy reading and Have a good mood!

With the help of a chemical reaction, we will call the genie from the flask.

For experience we need:
- glass flask;

- potassium permanganate;
- protective gloves;
- oilcloth.

Attention! It is impossible to carry out the experiment without protective gloves, and also to bend over the flask during the reaction.

Experiment steps:
1. It is best to cover the table with oilcloth so that it does not get dirty.
2. Add inside the flask a large number of hydrogen peroxide.
3. Add a small amount of potassium permanganate inside the flask.
4. Genie from a flask!!!

Science is great!

How can you create a glowing slime?

I wonder what is needed to create a glowing slime, and what experiments can be done with it?

We will need:
- polyvinyl alcohol;
- sodium borate;
- a glass and a spoon;
- phosphorescent paint;
Flashlight (ultraviolet is best)

What we do:
1. Pour polyvinyl alcohol into a glass.
2. Add a phosphorescent dye inside the polyvinyl alcohol and mix well.
3. Prepare a solution of sodium borate.
4. Add a solution of borax inside the polyvinyl alcohol and mix well. Slime is ready!
5. It stretches and breaks, exhibiting the properties of both liquid and solid body(it's a non-Newtonian fluid).
6. If you shine a flashlight on the slime and turn off the light, it will glow!

Science is great!

How to prepare a large amount of foam using a chemical reaction?

- flask;
- concentrated hydrogen peroxide;
- protective gloves;
- liquid soap;
- potassium iodide.

Attention! Peroxide and foam should not be touched with unprotected hands.

What we do:
1. Put on protective gloves and add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide inside the flask.
2. Now you need to add a small amount of liquid soap or dishwashing detergent.
3. Mix the contents inside the flask well!
4. Add a spoonful of potassium iodide.
5. Hooray! Foam!!!

And if the liquid is tinted, then the foam will be colored.

Science is great!

How to prepare a non-Newtonian fluid?

A non-Newtonian fluid is an amazing substance, because it has the properties of both a solid and liquid body.

In order to prepare a colored non-Newtonian liquid, you will need:
- starch;
- a bowl of warm water;
- liquid dye.

What we do:
1. We begin to add starch to a bowl of water and mix the contents thoroughly.
2. After a while, it will be possible to feel how the spoon begins to resist movement inside the liquid.
3. If you take a small amount of liquid in your hands and roll it, it behaves like a dense lump, but as soon as you stop working on it, it spreads like an ordinary thick liquid.
4. You can try to lift the bowl if you pull sharply with your hands that are inside the liquid.
5. If you smoothly move the spoon inside the liquid, nothing interesting happens, but if you do it with sharp movements, the liquid partes and you can see the bottom.

Best Recipe making colored slime.

We all like slimes, because they have the properties of both a solid and a liquid body. They can be perfectly stretched, torn, reconnected, made into balls - beauty!

In order to prepare the slime you will need:
1. Polyvinyl alcohol.
2. Sodium borate solution.
3. Dye.
4. Cup and spoon.

How to cook slime:
1. Pour polyvinyl alcohol into a glass and add a small amount of dye.
2. Mix well with a spoon so that the alcohol is evenly colored.
3. Now add a small amount of sodium tetraborate solution (it must be dissolved in water in advance) in a ratio of 1 to 4.
4. After that, we begin to stir intensively until the liquid thickens.
5. Lizun is ready!

After experimenting with the slime, you need to put it in a cup with a lid so that it does not dry out.

Science is great!

I wonder how you can dissolve a huge piece of Styrofoam, turning it into chemical chewing gum? Let's do an experiment!

For the experience you will need:
. Bowl;
. a long piece of foam;
. acetone;
. spoon.

Experiment steps:
1. Pour a small amount of acetone into a bowl.
2. Take a piece of Styrofoam from the top.
3. Dip a piece of Styrofoam into a bowl and watch it shrink right before your eyes!
4. If you look from above, you can see a lot of bubbles, as well as hear a hissing sound.
5. Gradually, the entire foam will dissolve in acetone, turning into a viscous substance.
6. Using a spoon, take a chemical "chewing gum" - it stretches. If you take it out of the bowl and leave it for a while, it will dry out and become hard.

So what really happened to the piece of styrofoam?

How can you turn a tea bag into a miniature flying machine and send it flying? Let's do an experiment!

For the experience you will need:
tea bags (need those that do not have a partition inside);
scissors;
tray;
lighter;
cup.

Photo-instruction of the experiment:
1. Use scissors to cut off the top of the bag.
2. Straighten the sachet and pour the contents into the glass.
3. You should get a cylinder, which must be installed on a tray and set on fire with a lighter.
4. The bag will begin to burn and decrease in size, and after a while it will fly into the air!
5. Now that you know how to send a tea bag flying, try sending three tea bags flying at once!

What makes tea bags fly?

I wonder how you can make it levitate soap bubble? Let's do an experiment!

For the experience you will need:
Bowl;
warm water;
dry ice;
plastic pipette;
scissors;
cup;
soap solution;
cotton gloves.

Experiment steps:
1. Fill a bowl halfway with warm water.
2. Add soap solution to the cup.
3. Cut off a part of the pipette with scissors so that you get a tube that is convenient for blowing soap bubbles.
4. Touch the tip of the tube to the soap solution and blow into it. Soap bubble is ready!
5. Put on gloves and make sure that the soap bubble does not float in the air on its own, but falls.
6. Add a handful of dry ice inside the bowl. In warm water, it will immediately begin to turn into gaseous state, forming an interesting cloud.
7. Blow a soap bubble into the bowl. The bubble will not sink, but will levitate in a cloud of carbon dioxide - very beautiful.

The beads start moving in an amazing way! What is their secret?
If you put these beads in a bowl, and then pull the tip, they will begin to spill out of the container as if on their own. Interested to try? Let's do an experiment!

For the experience you will need:
various containers;
scotch;
garlands of beads.

Experiment steps:
1. Take a bowl and carefully place the bead garland inside so that it does not get tangled.
2. The tip of the garland should look out of the bowl. For clarity, tie it with tape or tape - so it will be easier for you to find it later.
3. Raise the bowl of beads to chest level, and then pull the end of the garland.
4. Look, the beads start popping out of the bowl as if by themselves. Moreover, you can see how the garland rises from the bottom up as if breaking the force of gravity.
5. Repeat the experiment, this time using a tall carafe or vase. Also, carefully lay the garland inside the container, sticking the tip out (you didn’t forget about electrical tape, right?).
6. During the movement of a garland from a high decanter, you can even better watch how the beads rise from the bottom up, which looks just amazing!
7. And now it's time for another fun experience with inertial beads. Lay the garland on the table with a snake as in the photo.
8. If you pull the tip, the beads begin to fall off the table while repeating the complex pattern of the garland.
9. And if you are lucky enough to be the owner of a very long garland and a lot of patience (after all, it takes much longer to lay it), then you can watch the amazing movement of the beads for a long time.

What makes the beads move in such an interesting way?

It turns out that with a powder for creating artificial snow, you can spend a lot of entertaining experiences. It's time to take a good look at it. Let's do an experiment!

For the experience you will need:
. powder for creating artificial snow;
. cups;
. narrow glass;
. spoon;
. warm water.

Stages of the experiment:
1. Pour a few tablespoons of powder into a glass to create artificial snow.
2. Pour warm water into the second glass.
3. Quickly pour a glass of water into the glass of powder.
4. After a while, you will see how the powder absorbs water and begins to turn into artificial snow. At the same time, it will increase significantly in volume.
5. Now do a similar experiment with a narrow glass. Also pour a few tablespoons of powder inside.
6. Add warm water to a glass and watch how much artificial snow comes out of a small glass.
7. It is also very interesting to make snow right in your hands. Pour a small amount of powder into your palms, and then ask your friend to pour warm water directly into their palms.
8. Warm and pleasant to the touch snow appears in the palms as if by magic. Great!
9. And now it's time to make a snowball from artificial snow. Pour a small amount of water into a pile of artificial snow.
10. Thanks to the addition of water, it forms a snowball! Too bad he's so fragile.

What will happen to artificial snow after a while?
3. Add inside the carafe vegetable oil- small colored water bubbles will begin to rise.
4. Wait until colored water will be at the bottom and the oil at the top.
5. Now it's time to add the effervescent tablets inside.
6. As soon as the effervescent tablets reach the water, they will begin to dissolve, releasing gas, and the colored bubbles will begin to move.
7. Put the decanter on top of the flashlight and turn off the light - it's very beautiful to watch the movement of colored figures with illumination.
8. Now carry out a similar experiment, but this time take a tall glass and another dye. For beauty, illuminate the container with a flashlight from above.
9. Use a tall glass or other shaped vessel.
You can watch the movement of bubbles for a very long time - it's so beautiful!

It turns out that pills can be used not only for treatment. I wonder if it is possible to get real chemical snakes from calcium gluconate tablets? Let's do an experiment!

For the experience you will need:
. dry fuel;
. fireproof stand;
. calcium gluconate tablets;
. lighter.

Stages of the experiment:
1. Place a dry fuel tablet on top of the fireproof stand, and place four calcium gluconate tablets on top of the tablet.
2. Use a lighter to light a tablet of dry fuel.
3. After a while, gray snakes will begin to “hatch” from the tablets.
4. Snakes are constantly growing in size. Who would have thought that such long snakes could form from such small pills.
5. At some point, snakes can combine into one giant snake.

Does the number of pills affect the size and number of snakes?
2. Fill the flask one third full with hydrogen peroxide.
3. Add liquid soap inside the flask and mix the contents well.
4. Add a small amount of liquid dye inside and also mix well.
5. Spread the oilcloth and put a flask with a solution on top of it.
6. Add a spoonful of potassium iodide inside the flask.
7. A large amount of colored foam rush up from the flask!
8. Pay attention, the foam is getting bigger and bigger!

Why do you think the foam has a yellowish tint?

We bring to your attention 10 amazing magic tricks, experiments, or science shows that you can do with your own hands at home.
At your child's birthday party, weekend or vacation, make the most of your time and become the center of attention of many eyes! 🙂

An experienced organizer of scientific shows helped us in preparing the post - Professor Nicolas. He explained the principles behind a particular focus.

1 - Lava Lamp

1. Surely many of you have seen a lamp that has a liquid inside that imitates hot lava. Looks magical.

2. In sunflower oil water is poured and food coloring (red or blue) is added.

3. After that, we add effervescent aspirin to the vessel and observe a striking effect.

4. During the reaction, colored water rises and falls through the oil without mixing with it. And if you turn off the light and turn on the flashlight, the "real magic" will begin.

: “Water and oil have different densities, and also have the property of not mixing, no matter how we shake the bottle. When we add effervescent tablets inside the bottle, they dissolve in water and begin to release carbon dioxide and set the liquid in motion.”

Want to put on a real science show? More experiences can be found in the book.

2 - Experience with soda

5. Surely at home or in a nearby store there are several cans of soda for the holiday. Before you drink them, ask the guys the question: “What happens if you submerge soda cans in water?”
Drown? Will they swim? Depends on the soda.
Invite the children to guess in advance what will happen to a particular jar and conduct an experiment.

6. We take the cans and gently lower them into the water.

7. It turns out that despite the same volume, they have different weights. That is why some banks sink and others do not.

Commentary by Professor Nicolas: “All our cans have the same volume, but the mass of each can is different, which means that the density is different. What is density? This is the value of mass divided by volume. Since the volume of all cans is the same, the density will be higher for one of them, whose mass is greater.
Whether a jar will float in a container or sink depends on the ratio of its density to that of water. If the density of the can is less, then it will be on the surface, otherwise the can will go to the bottom.
But what makes a regular cola can denser (heavier) than a diet drink can?
It's all about the sugar! Unlike conventional cola, where it is used as a sweetener granulated sugar, a special sweetener is added to the diet, which weighs much less. So how much sugar is in a typical soda can? The difference in mass between regular soda and its dietary counterpart will give us the answer!”

3 - Paper cover

Ask the audience a question: “What happens if you turn a glass of water over?” Of course it will spill! And if you press the paper to the glass and turn it over? The paper will fall and the water will still spill on the floor? Let's check.

10. Carefully cut out the paper.

11. Put on top of the glass.

12. And carefully turn the glass over. The paper has stuck to the glass, as if magnetized, and the water does not pour out. Miracles!

Commentary by Professor Nicolas: “Although it’s not so obvious, but in fact we are in the real ocean, only in this ocean there is not water, but air that presses on all objects, including you and me, we just got used to it to this pressure that we do not notice it at all. When we cover a glass of water with a piece of paper and turn it over, water presses on the sheet on one side, and air on the other side (from the very bottom)! The air pressure turned out to be greater than the pressure of the water in the glass, so the leaf does not fall.

4 - Soap Volcano

How to make a small volcano erupt at home?

14. You will need baking soda, vinegar, some dish detergent and cardboard.

16. Dilute vinegar in water, add washing liquid and tint everything with iodine.

17. We wrap everything with dark cardboard - this will be the “body” of the volcano. A pinch of soda falls into the glass, and the volcano begins to erupt.

Commentary by Professor Nicolas: “As a result of the interaction of vinegar with soda, a real chemical reaction occurs with the release of carbon dioxide. And liquid soap and dye, interacting with carbon dioxide, form a colored soap suds- here is the eruption.

5 - Candle pump

Can a candle change the laws of gravity and lift water up?

19. We put a candle on a saucer and light it.

20. Pour tinted water on a saucer.

21. Cover the candle with a glass. After a while, the water will be drawn into the glass against the laws of gravity.

Commentary by Professor Nicolas: What does the pump do? Changes pressure: increases (then water or air begins to "run away") or, conversely, decreases (then gas or liquid begins to "arrive"). When we covered the burning candle with a glass, the candle went out, the air inside the glass cooled, and therefore the pressure decreased, so the water from the bowl began to be sucked in.

Games and experiments with water and fire are in the book "Experiments of Professor Nicolas".

6 - Water in the sieve

We continue to study magical properties water and surrounding objects. Ask someone present to put on a bandage and pour water through it. As we can see, it passes through the holes in the bandage without any difficulty.
Bet with others that you can make it so that water will not pass through the bandage without any additional tricks.

22. Cut off a piece of bandage.

23. Wrap a bandage around a glass or champagne glass.

24. Turn the glass over - the water does not spill out!

Commentary by Professor Nicolas: “Due to such a property of water as surface tension, water molecules want to be together all the time and it is not so easy to separate them (they are such wonderful girlfriends!). And if the size of the holes is small (as in our case), then the film does not tear even under the weight of water!”

7 - Diving bell

And to secure you honorary title Mage of Water and Master of the Elements, promise that you can deliver paper to the bottom of any ocean (or bath or even a basin) without soaking it.

25. Have those present write their names on a piece of paper.

26. We fold the sheet, put it in a glass so that it rests against its walls and does not slide down. Immerse the leaf in an inverted glass to the bottom of the tank.

27. Paper stays dry - water can't get to it! After you pull out the sheet - let the audience make sure that it is really dry.

The "Professor Nicolas Science Show" franchise combines several lines of business at once: these are science shows, the sale of branded science kits through a customized online store, as well as master classes and social projects.

"Professor Nicolas Science Shows" is more than 200 interesting scientific experiments, united in two dozen scientific programs. Our shows are not only for birthdays, there are also themed shows scientific holidays: new year show, graduation show, knowledge day, summer show, wedding show. The supplier of exclusive props for our shows is the market leader - SteveSpanglerScience.

"Scientific master classes of Professor Nicolas"
The key difference between master classes and entertainment shows is the orientation towards the educational function, as well as the participation of all schoolchildren in conducting experiments in work areas. Master classes are devoted to various sections of physics and chemistry: sound, pressure, chemical reactions, inertia, density, etc.

"Social programs of Professor Nicolas"
Our company owns the exclusive rights to use social programs demonstrating the harmful effects of alcohol and tobacco on a living organism. With the help of interesting experiments and conversations, our presenters clearly demonstrate the harm that alcohol and smoking cause to young organisms.

"Online store"
More than 250 items of goods are presented in our online store, which are combined into product groups, such as: "Science kits", "Mini-experiments", "Scientific constructors", " Interesting books”, “Research kits” and much more. We give our franchisees exclusive prices and a region for distribution. Average share of additional profit received from development this direction from 20% to 50% in the gross turnover of the franchise company.

On average, our franchisees in the second year of development in cities with a population of about 400,000 people show from 35 shows per month with an average cost of a show of 7,000 rubles (thus, they have an average monthly profit of about 120,000 rubles with a rate of return of 50%).

Amazing close by! Exactly one year ago I met Crazy Professor V . And today Kolya invited me to his show, which he held at the Obidimsk boarding school near Tula.
Kolya and Olya (his assistant) gave a small but real holiday children and teachers who gathered in the school assembly hall.
This is often written about, but I will say it again: such grateful eyes and such emotions, as we saw today, you see infrequently. All children, of course, enjoy the holidays. But children who are not spoiled by variety are doubly happy. Today they were happy. Thank you Kolya and his team for that!
Thanks also to the director of the school, Timur Nadarovich Tolordav, who decided to invite the Professor and make the children happy. Timur Nadarovich has been working in orphanage. Came to Tula region from Abkhazia by distribution, and remained so. The director talked a lot about the children, the life of the village and about himself. But he struck me to the core with one phrase: although I am an atheist, I believe in God!

As soon as we arrived in Obidimo and entered the hall, the guys began to prepare for the performance, collecting props for experiments. Everything worked out. So literally in 15 minutes everything was ready. It remains to put on the "overalls".

Numerous photographers captured every step of the Professor

...and his assistants Olga))

Charging the sweet making machine.

"Look, what a funny pip..." ©

Everything is ready, you can start.

But, first you need to have a bite)) The director Timur Nadarovich treated us with true Caucasian hospitality.

The walls of the school are painted.

Everywhere order and cleanliness.

Nicolas does the professor's hair.

A real professor: even to the stage, even to a meeting of the Academy of Sciences))

How are the audience there?

Everything is fine!

Both Nikolai's phones ring continuously. There is no end to those wishing to order a show. But ... Kolya and his entire team are scheduled for many days ahead.

All right, you can go on stage.

Spectators in the field.

The show starts!

A simple yet effective experience with dry ice.

Another "smoky" experience - crazy soda)

A "death number" is being prepared. An assistant from the audience is about to pour the contents of the glass on the Professor's head.

And pours out! But ... the gel formed in the glass does not want to pour out))

The next number is Kolya Yaikin.

Which has to crawl through the narrow neck of the flask and come back.

Experiment with colored liquids. Everything is smoking again!

Experience with disappearing ink.

This is how snow is made.

Everyone wants to touch the resulting snow.

Which of the two arcs is longer?

And now?

It turns out that you can inflate the balloon not only by blowing air, but also by blowing it out.

Kolya is amazingly artistic and emotional. I think this is half of his success.

Soap super bubbles.

But what kind of experience, I do not remember.

Another highlight of the program is gel worms.

Singing pipe.

Sings, if it is well untwisted.

Another type of buzzer.

Giant chimney!

Kolya and Olya are completing the main program.

And they move on to the final - the preparation of cotton candy in front of the astonished audience.

In order to have time to prepare cotton wool for everyone (and there were about 80 people at today's performance!), You have to work on two machines in four hands.

The results of this experience are edible.

Which of course pleases the audience.

Someone came with a sword, someone with wings)

The distribution of wool continues.

Boys are boys! Arranged a fight on sticks from cotton wool)

The cotton wool is eaten, the show is over. Group photo for memory. And the guys will have something to remember!

And this one of the boys asked for a camera and took a picture of me with his comrades.
