  • Welcome to science at home in this experiment we will be burning steel wool using a 9volt battery. In this experiment we use a 9 volt battery to heat up the wires in a bundle of steel wool to the point that it burns. The combustion of the steel wool keeps the burning reaction going until the heat is lost or all of the steel wool has been burnt. At the end of this episode you will be able to explain what happens when the steel wool is burnt, why the steel wool burns and be able to replicate this experiment at home.

    A spark from the grinder lit up some wire wool on a bench about 6 feet away, behind me - that could have been the end of my workshop but thankfully caught it in time, I now always keep it safely in a box.

    Does it change into powder after burning?

    Even if it is dangerous, spinning burning steel wool is awesome hahaha

    Quick question. Is this Iron?

    Witch Iron Oxide is formed?

  • @TakataScience
    @TakataScience 7 років тому

    What is the final product from the oxidation? Iron oxide has a density far less than both steel or iron yet the mass of the material increased with no change in the volume. How can this be accounted for?

    Would the steel wool oxidize the same way under water?

    OK but how about steel wool scrub what to do for it to light up 🧐

    So glad I didn't know about this in the 4th grade. Went through a science phase where I experimented without asking😂 My "parental guardian" was pissed when she started finding my hidden projects around the house. She stopped buying me books after that and refused to let my family gift them as well. Had to borrow library cards and hide them. JW's lose their minds if you try to learn outside their community
