Season 3, Episode 9 (Gravity Boat)

3.0 4 x
Phil tries to max-out a boat that propels itself using just water and gravity. We pour over water specifically and fluids in general. Heavy air, fluid sand, Archimedes and the metric system; this overflows with science!

Season 3, Episode 7 (Antacid Rocket)

4.0 3 x
When antacid tablets mix with water, you get a chemical reaction. Phil harnesses this to make several variations on rockets! Plus, why acids and bases react and how to use chemistry to make light or instant crystals.

Season 3, Episode 6 (Slime)

3.0 3 x
Slime is made of polymers, which are long chains of molecules that explain how many things are made. From plastics, to fabrics to our own DNA, polymers are everywhere. And we have a lot of them contained in a tub of slime.
