A paper towel that won't get wet, and 22 STEM activities for Fun Science
No new experiments went up, and a year-old roundup of activities for kids is the video still pulling in the most viewers.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
22 Easy and Fun STEM Activities
Fun Science, the home-experiment channel built on tricks you can try at the kitchen table to amaze your family, posted nothing new over the past seven days. The channel barely seemed to notice: its daily views sat right on their usual pace, a little over 30,000 a day.
The video doing the most work is more than a year old. "22 Easy and Fun STEM Activities" is a long roundup, tagged for elementary classrooms, summer afternoons and science fair projects, and it reads like the kind of thing a parent or a teacher bookmarks and comes back to. Maybe that is exactly who keeps finding it.
Right behind it is a month-old short with a question for a title: "Why doesn't this paper towel get wet? 🧻🤔" The trick is an old classroom favorite. Stuff a dry towel into the bottom of a glass, push the glass straight down into water upside down, and the trapped air keeps the water out. A five-month-old water trick, billed as one that will blow your mind, rounds out the three.
Among the science channels close to its size, Fun Science sits in the middle, fifth of nine by subscribers. The busier stories belong elsewhere: Cosmoknowledge is running at more than double its usual daily views, and Reactions is well above its own. Fun Science, meanwhile, is simply doing what it usually does, one paper towel at a time.

In the dry paper towel trick, what keeps the water away from the towel inside the upside-down glass?
The air caught in the glass has nowhere to escape, so its pressure stops the water from rising far enough to reach the towel.
