  • How does a rocket launch?
    Feb 27 2025

    Ever wondered how rockets blast off into space? In this episode of Fizz Pop Wow!, we explore the science behind rocket launches, from the power of thrust and fuel to Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Learn how burning fuel pushes a rocket upwards, how stages drop off to make it lighter, and why rockets need so much power to escape Earth’s gravity.

    Try a fun balloon rocket experiment at home to see Newton’s Third Law in action! Tune in to discover how rockets soar into space and what makes space travel possible!

  • How do fire extinguishers stop fires?
    Feb 26 2025

    Fires need three things to keep burning—heat, fuel, and oxygen. In this episode of Fizz Pop Wow!, we explore how fire extinguishers work by removing one part of this Fire Triangle to put out flames. Learn about different types of extinguishers, from water cooling down heat to carbon dioxide pushing away oxygen.

    We also share fun at-home experiments, like using a jar to remove oxygen from a candle or sprinkling baking soda to stop a small flame. Tune in to discover the science behind fire safety and how we control fires with chemistry!

  • Why do we have seasons?
    Feb 26 2025

    Have you ever wondered why it’s warm in the summer and cold in the winter? In this episode of Fizz Pop Wow!, we explore the science behind the changing seasons. Learn how the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its movement around the Sun create spring, summer, fall, and winter. Discover why different parts of the world experience different seasons at the same time and why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter.


    Tune in to uncover the reason behind the seasons and how Earth’s movement affects the weather around us!

  • Why Is Light Important for Seeing?
    Feb 24 2025

    Ever wondered why we need light to see? In this episode of Fizz Pop Wow!, we explore how our eyes and brain work together to process vision. Learn how light enters the eye, how our pupils adjust, and how special cells in our retina turn light into signals for the brain. Without light, our eyes cannot send the necessary information, making vision impossible in complete darkness.

    We also discover why some animals, like owls and cats, have better night vision and how our eyes adjust in dim conditions. Try fun at-home experiments to see how your pupils react to light and understand how much we rely on it for sight. Tune in to explore the science behind vision and why light is essential for seeing.
