STEVE SPANGLER: Hey,
little leprechaun.
00:00:01
Look, there's gold. (LEPRECHAUN
VOICE) Oh!
00:00:02
I want my gold and
my lucky charms.
00:00:06
STEVE SPANGLER: Caught him!
00:00:07
They're so dumb.
00:00:08
This is the time of year you
can catch a leprechaun.
00:00:11
And the deal is this-- they're
not that smart.
00:00:13
So any type of trap,
you can do that.
00:00:15
And my favorite trap--
00:00:16
I know you know how to do this--
cornstarch and water.
00:00:18
Mix up cornstarch and water.
00:00:20
It becomes this non-Newtonian
fluid.
00:00:22
Then it looks green, so they
go into it like this.
00:00:24
And when they go
in, they sink.
00:00:25
It's like quicksand.
00:00:26
They can't get back out.
00:00:27
They're so dumb.
00:00:28
Catches them every time.
00:00:29
BRYAN HIGGINS: Steve.
00:00:31
Can you help me out?
00:00:35
STEVE SPANGLER: Caught one!
00:00:37
I'm Steve Spangler.
00:00:39
And I'm all about making
science fun.
00:00:40
For so the last 20 years, I've
been teaching ways to turn
00:00:44
ordinary science experiments
into unforgettable learning
00:00:48
I have an amazing team who will
do whatever it takes to
00:00:50
affect the way people
think about science.
00:00:52
And to do that, I live
by one by motto--
00:00:55
make it big, do it right,
give it class.
00:01:04
Saint Patrick's Day, believe it
or not, is a great way to
00:01:06
learn some science.
00:01:07
And there's young kids all
over the world that are
00:01:09
building leprechaun traps.
00:01:10
I never did this when
I was a kid.
00:01:11
But today, they're learning
about pulleys and levers in a
00:01:14
kind of cool way because they're
trying to trap a
00:01:17
I think I remember this
happening to me
00:01:19
not that long ago.
00:01:23
We have a leprechaun trap.
00:01:24
-Yes, I want to see
how this works.
00:01:25
STEVE SPANGLER: So
this is the trap.
00:01:25
So should we show him, Mark,
how we did this?
00:01:27
-By the way, it says Lucky
Charms, you'll see on the top.
00:01:29
STEVE SPANGLER: Because--
00:01:30
-Because it's a leprechaun.
