Leaves, Beak-mania And Paper | Beakman's World Season 1 Episode 5 | Popcorn Playground

In answer to an inquiry about why leaves change color, Beakman first observes that they don't change, but rather turn color in the fall when their loss of chlorophyll, the chemical which makes leaves green, allows other colors already present to show through. Then, asked why the chlorophyll is there in the first place, Beakman adopts the persona of cooking show host Chlora Phyll to prepare a dish of water, carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce food for trees and other plants. This week's "Beak-Mania" answers questions about the world's longest and shortest snakes (the anaconda and the thread snake), and unusual edibles such as escargot (snails) and truffles (fungus). Meanwhile, Beakman challenges Lester to pick up a quarter from a dish of water without getting his fingers wet. Having stumped his partner, using a piece of gum, a jar and a candle, he shows how to create a vacuum that removes the coin without having to touch the water. Having received a number of questions about recycling paper, Beakman begins by noting that it takes a single cord of wood to produce only 250 Sunday newspapers. Explaining how recycling is using something more than once instead of throwing it out, he then adopts the persona of Balance Man to describe nature's state of equilibrium. Finally, in a demonstration of recycling, Beakman uses a shredded newspaper, an old pair of panty hose, a coat hanger, a blender and some glue to show how paper can be made at home. Season 1 Episode 5 About Beakman's World: A slightly nutty, always inquisitive scientist leads a journey of discovery while performing experiments that demonstrate how the world works. #BeakmansWorld #90snostalgia #popcornplayground Leaves, Beak-mania And Paper | Beakman's World Season 1 Episode 5 | Popcorn Playground www.youtube.com/channel/UCLuDSFqJqTx0gLNledf7Kzg
