00:00iBeliebers, it's Experiment Time!
00:04Okay, we'll also be experimenting with Teacher TikToker
00:08who has 2.4 million followers on TikTok.
00:10Wow, that's a lot!
00:12Kuya Chris, let's welcome Teacher Jess Placencia Esguerra!
00:17Hello, Teacher!
00:18Hello, iBeliebers!
00:21Welcome to iBelieve, it's good to have you here.
00:23Thank you for gracing us with your 2.4 million presence.
00:28A lot of people are watching us.
00:31So, Teacher, are you ready to experiment?
00:33I'm ready and excited, Kuya Chris!
00:36That's what I like!
00:37Okay, so as you can see, we have 4 cups here.
00:41One cup has a ping-pong ball, the other has a rock.
00:45I also have some sand in a beaker here.
00:49One is blue, the other is yellow.
00:51That's just the color.
00:52Now, what we'll do is you'll pour the sand on your objects.
00:57Go!
00:58Okay, then I'll tell you the challenge after.
01:01Beautiful!
01:02Yellow and blue!
01:03Okay, so your objects have been covered.
01:05The rock and the ping-pong ball.
01:06Now, your challenge is how you'll lift the object that's below
01:11to the top without touching the sand or moving the sand.
01:19Okay, that's your challenge.
01:21That's the rules, right?
01:22Yes.
01:23Okay, so, ready?
01:25Ready!
01:26Let's set, go!
01:30She's thinking of a strategy.
01:32Teacher has a strategy.
01:41Shaira, do you have a strategy?
01:43Here.
01:44Side by side.
01:52The rock doesn't want to move.
01:55Wow!
01:56That's great!
01:57That's fast!
01:58Wow!
01:59That's how it's done, Teacher!
02:01That's how it's done, Teacher!
02:02That's how it's done, Teacher!
02:03That's how it's done, Teacher!
02:05Do you believe that the rock will move?
02:07Right, Teacher?
02:08It should move, right?
02:09That's right!
02:10Yes!
02:11Okay, just try it.
02:12Go!
02:13Go!
02:14You can do it.
02:15Like that?
02:16What should I do?
02:17You'll see what Teacher will do.
02:18Teacher, what's the trick?
02:19Is there another way?
02:20Another motion?
02:21More shaking?
02:27There it is!
02:28There it is!
02:29It's moving!
02:30See?
02:32Yes, the rock is moving.
02:34I thought it won't move because it's heavy.
02:36Right?
02:37How did that happen?
02:38Maybe we can ask Teacher Jess
02:39what's the secret or the explanation
02:41why the ping pong ball is moving
02:44and the rock in the sand?
02:46Actually, the weight of the object doesn't matter.
02:49The secret is in the shaking of the sand.
02:52In the shaking?
02:53Yes!
02:54Oh, I see.
02:55While you're shaking the glass,
02:56there will be vibrations in the air molecules
02:59through the sand.
03:01Ah, I see, I see.
03:02Okay.
03:03And of course, because of this,
03:04there will be an upward force pushing the object up.
03:08Ah, okay, okay.
03:09It depends on the strength of the rock
03:11and the speed of the object moving.
03:14I see.
03:15So, earlier, I was doing it sideways.
03:17Yes.
03:18So, it's not moving up.
03:19It's not an upward force.
03:20Right.
03:21And it's a bit slow.
03:22It needs a bit of confidence.
03:24Like that.
03:25Like that.
03:26See?
03:27That's good.
03:28That's a good explanation.
03:29Wow!
03:30Thank you, Teacher!
03:31What do you guys think?
03:33Do you believe?
03:34I believe!
