A bubble with a window, cut by dental floss, for Steve Spangler

The one new experiment on Sick Science! asks viewers to reach for an item nobody keeps near the bubble wand.

Bubble Window Using Dental Floss

Posted on September 29, "Bubble Window Using Dental Floss" is the only new video on Sick Science! this week, and it does exactly what the title says. A soap bubble, a length of floss, and a window opened inside the film that, by the description's promise, you would never think to make with something from the bathroom cabinet. It drew close to 3,000 views in its first day.

That is a modest start for a channel past 2.2 million subscribers, but this is the hands-and-pans corner of Steve Spangler's world, built for teachers who need a five-minute demonstration more than for a viral audience. The description says as much: the channel offers STEM ideas for the classroom.

The busiest video right now is not the new one. "The Chocolate Milk Mystery," posted seven weeks ago, is still gathering a little more each day than the bubble, and a twenty-day-old puzzle, "Trick Your Friends Into Opening This Bottle," sits just behind them. Perhaps a fresh school term keeps the older demonstrations in rotation?

Among the science channels around it, the big numbers belong to the storm chasers: Max Velocity and Reed Timmer are both drawing well above their usual daily views, and Deep Look's bugs are running at close to double their normal pace. Sick Science! keeps to its own quieter rhythm, which suits a channel whose founder posted the original Mentos and Diet Coke video when YouTube was three months old.
