About Steve's September 2007 Visit

September 2007 HighlightsIt’s not often that someone like Ellen DeGeneres asks Steve to teach her how to make learning fun…and do some cool science experiments at the same time. Steve Spangler appeared for the first time on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on September 21, 2007. He introduced Ellen to a different way of teaching science. Steve amazed Ellen with an incredible eruption of foam that looks like a giant stream of toothpaste... or elephant toothpaste. It is a classic reaction that is a favorite of chemistry teachers. Steve also taught Ellen another classic science demonstration that shows what happens to sound when it travels through a gas that is six times heavier than air. Ellen was surprised when her voice was low and her vocal cords felt funny after taking a breath of the anti-helium SF6. Steve and Ellen finished the segment by blowing giant smoke rings at the audience and knocking cups off of audience members' heads.
