Science Experiments for kids Lego part 2 with Dr. Shnitzel's Wacky Science

Here [music] [music] we have a whole bunch of different amazing Lego sets to built this one. >> Wow. What is this? >> It's like a police truck. >> A police truck. Amazing. Does it open up? Can you show us? Wa! Look at that. Isn't that awesome? I see over here. Who's this? >> The science person. >> Oh, the science person in the police truck. What kind of boat is this? A police boat. Oh, look at the fan in the back. Look at that. And I see there's so many policemans over here. [gasps] Here we have a beautiful plane made out of Lego. Isn't it amazing that out of little Lego pieces, you could pretty much make anything. Even [music] the big crane, like my son Yehuda, he made that crane. Big shout out to Yehuda. Look at this. Oh, isn't that amazing? Look, you push this on the side and it makes the gears turn on the bottom and then [music] that spins and so does this. Unbelievable. And look at this. Look how cute this is. My daughter Hana Fagga made this. This is beautiful. This is a little >> parrot. >> It's a parrot. Ooh, look at this space shuttle. Very cool. And here we have a little mini car. And look at [music] this Lego car here. See? And the front opens up. The hood opens up. [music] Look at this. Here we have the oldfashioned camera. It comes with a handle. And I guess you turn the film. [music] In the olden days, they didn't have cameras like we have now on phones, digital [music] cameras. They had cameras and in the back there was a film. [music] See, and you would basically take out the old film and you would put in the new film. You could ask your parents about that. It wasn't as easy as it is now to take pictures [music] when we were growing up. See that? Oh, look at that. Oh, >> that look at that. The red piece. The red piece. That red button over there. >> Oo, it turns red button. >> And you press this over here. There's a red button over here. This is unbelievable. My daughter Hagga made a Dr. Schnitzle lab. Can you guess where Dr. Schnitle is? >> Ah, look at that. Dr. Schnitle. Well, that's Dr. Schnitle's little baby. See that? And here's Dr. Schnitle. And we have over here a parrot. [music] And we have Buchka. and all the different science stuff. Not only [music] can you buy Lego sets and make the Lego sets that they gave instructions for, but you can have old Lego and make whatever you would like. Come along with me to [music] J Brick headquarters with the one and only McGinness World Records holder for the largest mana built in Eric. We have over here Yity Casawitz who's going to show us a whole bunch of fun activities that we can do with Lego. Thank you, Dr. Stencil. My hope is that everyone gets inspired by what you [music] can do with the Lego you have at home. [snorts] So, if you have a box of Lego, you don't know what to do with it, you can [music] actually very easily make a Tedducka box. You can make a slot to put money in, take it off, and you can give the money to Tedducka. There's all sorts of [music] things. I come up with ideas. You can come up with ideas. I can show you some of what I came up with and then hopefully you come up with some stuff of your own. Talking about sedaka, Dr. Schnitle came all the way to Miami, Florida to visit J Brick headquarters and I have some sedaka that I have with me. Look what I see over here. Wa! This is a big sedaka pushka. Who here gives sodaka every single day? Dr. Schnitzle does. So, we're going to put some sedaka in the push. Oo, this is really nice. Wow. Now, you made this yourself? >> I did. So, this is one of our first products that we made uh about 10 years ago, [music] and it is really strong, really big. Uh we don't sell it right now, but it's uh has Seducka actually kind [music] of builtin brick on all four sides. It's clear, so if you put in an LED light or something inside, you could see it shining on all the sides. And it's really, really strong. Actually, the way I tested it was when I first designed it, I backed up away from my desk. I dropped it on the floor and it didn't [music] break. I did that three times. I figured if I could roll it down the stairs and it'll stay together and it's made out of Lego and it's not glued. We don't glue anything. >> Um why not? Then it's for sale. Um why not? >> Why don't you glue it? >> Well, um >> I guess it's strong enough it doesn't need to be glued. >> Well, part of the idea of Lego is to create and to build and rebuild. So all of the pieces that we have instead of just making it a final piece and that's it. I like to keep using my brain and creativity take it apart build something else build it different. [music] For example this was our first set that we made. I designed this manura and I came home and my son he said um Tati this is a very nice J brick set but why don't you do it like Lego? Why don't you do a threein one? I said okay challenge accepted. So I designed another monora with the same pieces and all with these pieces also [music] instructions for a drrele. So why glue it when you could take it apart and make something else. You can make another or another. So this grogger will not spin apart into a million pieces cuz there's only like Oh, look at that. So >> science, right? This is very cool. I want to show you something. So this is not glued. it will actually come apart, right? But because of centrifugal force, the faster [music] you spin it, the tighter it locks together. And this here, I've been looking at this the whole time. What in the world is that? Okay, so this is a very cute kit we made a while ago. This would be Yona and the whale or Yona and the fish. So there is a little uh ship over here with Yona in it. And of course, we have the whale and you can see under the water. This is called a mechanical Tedducka box. [music] So, by the fin of the fish and all of our tedda boxes come with real money. So, you uh at least I get to participate in the mitzvah. When you get it and you build it, you put the tadaka in. We have a partner, but it's actually for a real mitzvah. So, when you put the coin in, [snorts] Yona will, if I'm holding it straight, jump or go into the whale's mouth. >> Oh my gosh. >> And to reset it, you basically just tilt it and Yona comes back in the ship. So, this is our uh neutral color muzza case, but uh probably our most popular one is the colored miza case. Got all the pieces in here, plus instructions. And we even have options. Instead of hardware, I call it Lego wear. There's two different things you can put on the top and the bottom of the muza [music] to either put screws or nails to hold it and attach it [music] to your door. This is amazing. Every door has a muza in a very fun way [music] and it's real genuine Lego brand pieces. >> Wow, that's amazing. This is um a [music] Basa Mikdash model. Uh the second Basa Mikdash. Uh it took me 3 years to um design because I had to learn a lot. Um although I was basically out of Yeshiva, I had to stick my nose back into the garra and Mishnayas and Rambam and Josephus and everything to figure out. And as I built it, I had to [music] rebuild it and over and over and over um to make it as accurate as possible. Wow. Uh so we have basically the harabias of 500 x 500 amas of the first holy ground and then the [music] different versions of the >> well the you have first the [music] ulam is the hallway around the the kadesh is inside [music] and the heels is inside with the kadesh and the kadeshakadashim and then you have the azras nashim the women's courtyard and then you have the zar with [music] um all of the uh main happenings you have this is for the kind with sleep in the basa market. Of [music] course, the way I build it is everything comes apart. This whole part comes out and if you get it, it has all [music] of the instructions, not just how to build it, but what you're building while you're building it. It explains it's for education. It explains what each doorway is and the pillars of fire and all the different chambers and why everything is where it is. And this is how I do it. I take pieces off of my wall. So for example um I'll take this here which is Lego brick and I have I have one by one brick 1x 2 [music] 1x3 2x two corner 1x4 1x 6 1x 8 1x 10 2x [music] two 2x3 2x4 2x 6 2x 8 and then other various different sizes and then I have lots of other bins for all the different types and colors galore. Like here [snorts] is uh here's some gray plate. It uses the same system. So we have 1x one plate, 1x 2 plate, 1x3 plate, uh 2x two corner, [music] 1x4, 1x 6, 1x8. And this is kind of like my library. [music] You could have a library of books, a library of sparum, and I have a library of Lego. So if you challenge me to make anything, I say, "Okay, what am I going to do? Which color do I need? I find the color, the type of piece, and off we go. You could even challenge me to make something right now. You know, talking about library, one of my daughters has a library of candy, [laughter] but she has to get rid of it before Pes Mushka, you know who you are. Okay. So, Yi, I'm going to challenge you to make something within 60 seconds. >> No problem. >> And it has to have at least six different colors. And it has to be something funny or Jewish. >> Funny or Jewish. >> Or funny and Jewish. >> Funny and Jewish. I like that challenge. Um, do I get a minute to think first before I start building? >> You see, [laughter] you first have to think about it. >> I got to come up with it here and then put it here. I don't think with my fingers. One, two, three, go. >> Okay, there we go. All right, let's get one of these. Let's get one of these. And let's get Oh, I don't know. One of these. Let's see what we can do. Okay, I'm going to start with a base. Let's do a green base. Uh, one more thing. Let's grab. This looks like a bunch of heads. >> That's some heads. >> A bunch of heads. >> Legs. >> Legs. Oh my god. >> And we'll get some torso. We have a body. A full body. >> Okay. We're going to have a Jewish doctor. Jewish doctor with We'll give him a pair of pants. Okay. And let's see if we got a guy with a beard. We do. And we're going to put a and we're going to give him a really funny hat cuz [laughter] other things are making Dr. Schnitzel. >> Uh, you know what? Put on this over here. >> I don't know if I have >> this. Just put this in. >> Oh my gosh. I love it. You're helping me out with this. >> Okay, here we are. I'm building myself. >> And we're going to get we're going to get [music] you H. Let's see here. I think I have some funny wings. Maybe, maybe not. Here we go. Here we go. >> I made Dr. Schnitzle. >> I like it. We're We're going with that. >> Okay, >> we're going with Dr. Schnitzle on this end here. >> Well, that that works, too. Here. How about we'll do this one? >> Okay. And I'm going to make something really quick cuz we're running out of time. So, I got to make this go very fast. We're going to go up in the air. And we're going to go like this. We'll make a little stand. We're going to put this over here. Oh, wow. And now we've got What is that? We've got Dr. Schnitle. Quick, quick. Come on. We're down to the last 10 seconds. Okay. And we're going to put Dr. Schnitle dancing on top of the wings of an eagle at Jbreick HQ. Look at that. Oh my gosh, that is amazing. Is that that Lego? Is this Lego? This >> This is all 100% Lego pieces. >> Wow. >> Actually, if you look at this, you could see on every single stud, it says Lego on it. >> Yes, I see. Wow. Hold on. Put me on here. And I am flying up high in the sky. Maybe this is how we're going to go to Mashiach Alan famous in clouds of glory. That's what I'm hoping. Look at that. This is really awesome. What's the name of the eagle? Um I don't know. Maybe you guys can come up with the name. By the way, is that how you flew to Miami? [laughter] >> Perhaps. I want to thank you so much for having us over here. We had such a great time. We learned so much. >> Shim and Yehuda, we have over here a whole bunch of different items. The question is, if [music] you were in charge of making Lego, which material here would be the best to make [music] Lego? Let's see. Would it be a good idea to make Lego out of cardboard? >> No. >> Would it last long? >> But if you stomp on it, >> it's if you step on it, it will smash. Everybody say smash. >> Smash. >> Smash. It doesn't really It's not really [music] uh good. What about wood? Is a wood a good idea to make Lego? >> No. going to [music] like chip. >> It could chip. It's not really good, right? Ooh, what about what do we have in here? >> Oh, look at that. Well, material is not really good to make Lego. [gasps] We have Who knows what these are? They're kougal. And when I was a kid, [music] I used to play. Let's see. >> There must be five. >> There's five here. And watch this. Let's see if I can do it. Yes. And then I used to go like this. And then let's see if I can get on the back. Oh yes. So we used to put it over here and we have to go like this and make like a little thing and go like that. Hey, come back over here. Where did it go? Is [music] metal a good material to make Lego? >> No. It's going to hurt somebody. >> It's very heavy and it could hurt. Right. Imagine you're piling. You're making a big statue out of Lego. The whole thing could topple over. It's very dangerous. Right. >> It's going to land on somebody's head. It's going to >> They're going to get a smashy head. >> They're going to smash your head. Yes. So, metal [music] is not a good idea. What about styrofoam? Is styrofoam a good idea? >> You can step on it and it was a squish. >> You're going to smash it. This is also not a good thing. >> Smash it. >> Yes. And look what we have over here. What's this? [music] >> Glass. >> Glass. And look at this. Here we have Who remembers where this is from? >> Elephant. >> Elephant toothpaste explosions. Is it a good idea to make little Lego pieces out of glass? >> No. It's going to break. >> Oh, it could break. It's going to be very sharp and pointy and when you put it together, right? Oh, but look what I found over here. I have over here Lego candy. Oh, we were talking about what materials to make [music] and we came up to the candy part and all of a sudden all the boys came. Do you guys like candy? >> How much candy are you allowed to eat? >> A lot. One candy every month. >> Six [music] months. Yeah. I have over here Lego candy. Let's see. Let's see if we can build. Ooh, it has the bumps on the top. See that? And it has the indents on the bottom. So, we can put this like this. Let's see. >> Ooh, we can build a whole bunch of Lego piles. Isn't that amazing? But the problem with this is [music] that >> it doesn't really go and it's made out of candy. Is it good to build Lego out of candy? >> No. >> So, what's candy good for? >> Eating. >> Yummy. Who wants to eat candy? >> Okay. What do we make on candy? >> Jakal. I'm going to give each one of you guys a little bit of Lego to play with and then we're going to eat it together. Okay. So, here. This is for you. Let's see who can build the nicest thing. Okay. This is for you. This is for you. And this is for [music] you. [music] So, the Lego company decided that they're going to use plastic to make the Lego brick. Who can guess how many different kinds of plastics there are? Yes, >> seven. >> There are seven general kind of plastics. However, today we're going to talk about three different kind of plastics. The first kind of plastic we're going to talk about is PVC. Has anybody ever heard of PVC? >> Yeah. >> They use PVC in construction for plumbing. >> PVC pipes. >> PVC pipes. And guess what Dr. Schnitzle use it for? I use it for Dr. Schnitle's dry ice shower. Who remembers this from the dry ice video, right? Were you in the You were That's right. You were in the dry ice. We put the dry ice in here and it comes out and we get a little dry ice. [music] Uh, >> like get away from me. >> Yes. And look what I have over here. This is the pingpong launcher. Some of you might have seen it in shows. And the PVC, this over here is a toilet pipe. See [music] that? And this is what they use for plumbing. And they make this using oil and salt. Some toys are made out of PVC, but it's not the healthiest because if it melts, it can it can really um let out fumes that are not very healthy. So, a lot of toys are not made made out of this. And Lego didn't choose to use PVC to make the Lego bricks. The next kind of plastic that we have is called PLA. PLA plastic comes from corn starch and sugar cane. Does that mean we could eat it? No, >> you can't eat it, but it is the safest plastic to use. And they use it in 3D printers. Look what we have over here. This over here is like a a tower that was made with a bunch of little pyramids inside. [music] They also use it for water bottles because water is something we drink, right? As well as containers for food and for snacks and little bags. The melting point [music] for this kind of plastic is 302°. So, it's pretty high, but not as high as the other plastics. The PLA is very, very brittle, which means if I take this and [music] I smash it over here, it's going to smash in a bunch of pieces. Is it good to use PLA kind of plastic? Even though it's so healthy to put food inside it, it's okay. It doesn't It's not as bad as as [music] PVC. Is it a good idea to make Lego out of it? >> No, it's going to crack. >> No, it's going to crack, right? Especially if you want to build big pieces. And with Lego, sometimes you have to really push it hard to make sure everything >> and it's going to and sometimes it falls. >> If it falls over, what happens? It's all going to break. Not PLA and not PVC. So, what are we left with? Our third kind is called ABS. Let me show you what ABS is made out of. Not cornstarch and sugar, not salt and oil. It's made out of man-made [music] different chemicals, materials like we have over here. And they use that to make a very, very strong plastic. The only thing is that if you leave it outside in the sun, it will lose its color. [music] Have you ever seen the kid cars that are left outside and they lose their color? Those are made out of ABS [music] plastic so that if the sun shines on it, it will lose its color. They use it for bottles that have chemicals inside. And we don't want the chemicals to ruin the plastic of the bottle, right? And make a hole inside. So they use a very, very strong [music] kind of plastic called ABS. And guess what else they use ABS plastic for? >> Lego. >> They use it for Lego. That's right. This plastic over here, this little uh helicopter is made out of ABS [music] plastic. Here we have a big piece. See this? They would take this over here and they'll melt it down in different shapes for Legos. It's very, very strong. Put out your hand, everybody. Go like this. And tell me how that feels. It hurts. Ah, it's pretty strong. It's pretty. Ah. >> Yes. Yes. It's a whole bunch of Legos. Should we try to melt these down? >> Yes. >> Now, the ABS plastic that we make Lego. In order to melt it, [music] we need not 100, not 200, not 300. We need 428° to melt the [music] Lego. So, it's very, very strong and that's why they use Lego out of ABS plastic. Ley and Yasi, look what we have over here. Here we have a regular glue gun. Can anyone guess how hot a gloom gun gets? >> 380. >> 380°. [music] Is that enough to melt our plastic? >> No, >> not really. Here we have a plastic welding gun. And when we press this button, in 3 seconds, it heats up to 842°. [music] 3 seconds. That's amazing. We are going to try to melt down our plastics made out of the PLA. [music] Remember? Okay, let's press it. And within 3 seconds, it's going to come super hot. We do not want to touch it. And [music] it's going to it might smell. Okay, we're not going to do a lot cuz it has a lot of fumes. And watch this. Let's see. Whoa, look at that. It [music] made a hole straight through. Isn't that amazing? Look at that. See that? Should we try it on styrofoam? Let's try it on styrofoam. Oh my gosh. >> It's [music] like It's like It melts like butter. Isn't that awesome? Wow. That is crazy. Look at that. [laughter] This is super super hot. Let's try the cup. Should we try the cup? Okay, we're baiting three seconds. And wa! Isn't that crazy? Wow, this is [music] super super hot. Now we're going to try to do the PVC. Oh, let's see if this is going to go. It smells pretty bad. And let's see. Let's see. Ooh, it's taking a little longer. Look at that. It's a little harder to melt. See that? M. Hold on to the BBC. Yes. Yes. Yes. And now we have the ABS, the plastic that they use [music] to make >> Lego. >> Lego. Here it is. Let's take this and see if we can melt this. Let's see. M. Look at that. Oh my gosh. It's not melting so fast. It takes some time. It looks like the Lego is made out of the strongest plastic from the three. Look [music] at that. Ooh, look what we have here. Here we have a piece of Lego. Let's try to melt this. Should we try to melt this? Look at that. Oh my gosh. Do you see that? >> It's like chocolate. It's >> like It melts like chocolate. This over here is 842°. That's how hot this this plastic [music] gun is. So obviously Oh, it fell off. Obviously, look at that. [music] It's so so hot. So Lego made out of ABS [music] is the best plastic that will last the longest. And that's why even if you have a Lego set like we have over here from 50 years ago, it still holds its shape. Let's take a look. See that? Look at all these pieces. This one looks over here pretty old. Look how old that is. M. See that? These are old Legos. They still hold its shape for so Look how dirty that is. Wow. But they're still as strong as they came out of the factory. You guys did such an amazing job exploring the world of Lego with Dr. Schnitzel. Please give yourself a big tap on the back. Good job. I have a very special gift for you guys. Here. Here we have a Dr. Schnitzle mug. Would you like one? Yes. And look what it says over here. What does it say? >> Ready, set, ready, go. Ready, set, here. This is for you. And this is for you. And you're going to get a Dr. Schnitle color changing cup. It turns dark pink when you put freezing cold ice water inside. And this is for you. And this is for you. And of course, everybody's going to get two Dr. Snittle stickers. [music] One for your nosy, one for your toesy. [music] >> [music] >> Today we have our amazing helpers. They are building unbelievable toys. [laughter] >> Unbelievable what? Unbelievable structure is good. In fact, [music] Dr. Schnitzell played with Lego the most when I was a little little chicken nugget. Here we have our two helpers, [music] Shimmy and Shim. >> My name is Shim. >> Oh, you're Shim and you're >> Shimmy. >> Shimmy. Okay. Here we have Shimmy and Shim. [music] >> No, my name is Shimmy. >> Your name is Shim and your name is Shimmy. >> No, my name is Shimmy. >> Your name is Shimmy and your name is Shim. Shim. Okay. So, we have over here Shimmy and Shim. >> Other way around. >> Can you do this with [music] other kind of blocks? >> No, >> you cannot do this with other kind of blocks. Only with Lego. [laughter] >> No, that's the that's the best. >> All right. Pick it up. Pick it up. >> Our third kind is called P L ABS. Okay. 1 2 [music] 3. Our third kind is called a >> abs. >> ABS. ABS. Okay. One, two, three. [laughter] Okay. One. Now. Hold on. What were you up to? >> What did we just say? >> What? >> Oh, okay. One, two. Let me come down over [music] here. Let's see if we can come down. Oh, yeah. Don't move. [laughter] Don't move. That was scary. Okay.
