We Made Pop Rocks at Home with Science

Season 7 Episode 26 | 8m 31s

Making pop rocks at home is so much harder but so much fun. Check it out!

Pop Rocks are just sugar and high-pressure CO2, but making them at home is way harder than it looks. In this video, we use three different methods to try and capture carbon dioxide in sugar: a middle-school chemical reaction, a state transition, and biological production!
