Nano girl told us she wanted to try and make her own super powers with science. Her first experiment was to try to set her hand on fire and the flames rose high for a few seconds. After the flames cleared she explained how it worked. She dipped her hand in bubbly water but the bubbles had gas in them.

Then she called up some volunteers and asked them to push a skewer stick through a balloon without popping it but they kept failing. They did it too fast and it popped. Nano Girl tried to push the skewer through the thicker part of the blown up balloon and did so slowly, but it popped as well.

She explained her next power which was super breath. For this experiment she got another volunteer from the crowd. She grabbed two really long plastic bags and asked how many blows we thought it would take to blow it all the way up and the volunteer said 15. By the time he did 5 he was nowhere near blowing it up.

Then Nano girl said she could do it in 1 breath and tried and successfully blew it up in one breath but she did it a bit differently. The way she did it was she did one long breath with her face slightly away from the bag and she said that when she blew from a distance it created uneven air pressure so when the air tried to even it out it pushed air in the bag. Everyone was amazed.

Her next superpower was levitation and she put a ping pong ball and put it on a hair dryer that was facing up and switched it on. The ball stayed perfectly in the air which was cool but then she upgraded to a beach ball and a leaf blower and the ball went high, nearly touching the ceiling. When she tilted the leaf blower, the ball followed in the air.

Her final experiment was flight so she first got a small piece of toilet paper which she then held to her mouth and blew which made the toilet paper float. She explained that the air went fast under it and slow over it which created lift. Next she got the leaf blower and blew it on the whole roll of toilet paper and all the paper rolled forward and into the crowd. Everyone screamed with delight as the whole roll of toilet paper blew high in the air.

Finally she said we could try (most) of these at home, we thanked her and went back to school on the bus.
