01:04 Hello iBeliebers!
01:06 Good morning!
01:08 Hello!
01:10 It's Sunday morning again!
01:12 Welcome to your favorite
01:14 science camp!
01:16 This is iBelieve!
01:18 [Screaming]
01:20 Of course,
01:22 this is the kids' favorite camp!
01:24 I have with me today,
01:26 the heart of Kiddie Stars,
01:28 Ewen Aleta.
01:30 Hi!
01:32 Leanne Bautista.
01:34 And Angelica Uli.
01:36 Hi, iBelievers!
01:38 Are we just the three of us?
01:40 Like you said,
01:42 we're not enough.
01:44 We need one more person.
01:46 So we can be happier.
01:48 That's right.
01:50 Who?
01:52 The ultimate female survivor
01:54 of Starstruck Season 7.
01:56 Do you know who it is?
01:58 Is it Shae?
02:00 That's right!
02:02 It's Shae Zava!
02:04 Welcome, Shae!
02:06 Hello, Ewen!
02:08 Welcome to iBelieve!
02:10 Let's start!
02:12 Can you cook eggs?
02:14 Of course, Ewen!
02:16 Can you cook eggs
02:18 without using heat?
02:20 Let's find out!
02:22 What we need
02:24 for this experiment is
02:26 a pan,
02:28 a liquid in the pan,
02:30 fork, raw egg,
02:32 and thermometer.
02:34 You go first.
02:36 You can crack the egg.
02:38 One egg.
02:40 One egg.
02:42 Then we'll put it in.
02:44 There.
02:46 Let's measure the temperature
02:48 of the pan.
02:50 It's Celsius.
02:52 It's going down.
02:54 It's 21 degrees.
02:56 What's the temperature?
02:58 18 degrees.
03:00 That's amazing!
03:02 It's cold, right?
03:04 Who would've thought that
03:06 eggs can cook at 19 degrees?
03:08 But Chris, you can't eat that, right?
03:10 No.
03:12 Kids, what can you say about
03:14 our experiment of cooking an egg without heat?
03:16 I believe!
03:18 Many people assume that
03:24 the liquid that the egg is put in
03:26 is water. But actually,
03:28 it's denatured alcohol or ethyl alcohol.
03:30 It's usually the fuel
03:32 in alcohol burners and camping stoves.
03:34 There are protein molecules in the egg.
03:36 Alcohol denatures
03:38 those proteins.
03:40 It's a reason for the molecules
03:42 to clump together
03:44 and coagulate or harden.
03:46 But it's not edible
03:48 because it's already
03:50 soaked in alcohol.
03:52 I believe!
03:54 From Batangas,
03:56 the land of swordsmen,
03:58 there's one who's different.
04:00 He's holding a katana.
04:02 I'm Ram, the Pinoy blacksmith of Batanga.
04:04 Are you ready to buy?
04:06 Ram is a
04:10 blacksmith who will
04:12 help us today
04:14 with his katana.
04:16 What's a katana?
04:18 A katana is a blade
04:20 designed to cut, dice, and slash
04:22 from Japan.
04:24 Brother,
04:26 are there other types of katana?
04:28 As far as I know,
04:30 there's none. But katana is one
04:32 of the many variants of Japanese blades.
04:34 This morning, we have a challenge
04:36 for Ram.
04:38 Using his katana,
04:40 he'll cut a banana tree.
04:42 This is just the first challenge.
04:44 Whenever you're ready.
04:46 Okay, cutting.
04:48 Wow!
04:54 What will you say?
04:56 I believe!
04:58 A katana is called a samurai sword.
05:02 It's curved and has a handle
05:04 for two hands.
05:06 Its single blade is said to be
05:08 one of the sharpest in the world.
05:10 It's usually made
05:12 from iron ore that's been melted
05:14 and heated for three days
05:16 with the help of fire
05:18 that reaches a temperature of
05:20 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
05:22 Ram showed
05:24 the Tameshigiri,
05:26 the Japanese art of target test cutting.
05:28 The hand-eye coordination
05:30 is important for this skill.
05:32 It's the ability of the hand and eyes
05:34 to move
05:36 in one direction.
05:38 It starts with the eye
05:40 pointing to the target.
05:42 The eye sees,
05:44 the brain says to the hand,
05:46 and what to do to the target.
05:48 I believe!
05:50 Welcome to Believable's
05:52 Kiddie Rocket Challenge!
05:54 [laughs]
05:56 Is that it?
05:58 [screams]
06:00 [screams]
06:02 Oh, my!
06:04 I've never seen anything like this.
06:06 So, we can't use it anymore?
06:08 Well, we can recycle it.
06:10 It's a finished product.
06:12 Wow!
06:14 [laughs]
06:16 Wow!
06:18 The color of the liquid
06:20 will change by shaking.
06:22 Huh?
06:24 Wow!
06:26 What else do you want for Christmas decoration?
06:28 What do you want?
06:30 Christmas tree!
06:32 Believable's!
06:34 I'm here at
06:36 Pace Academy, Talayang Campus.
06:38 And I have a very fresh
06:40 guest from Star Trek 7,
06:42 Avengers, no other,
06:44 Pamela Prinster
06:46 and Jeremy Sabido.
06:48 Alright!
06:50 Hello, Kai Believers!
06:52 Hi, Rodfil! Hello!
06:54 Hello, Chris! Hi, Pamela! Hi, Jeremy!
06:56 It's great that Believable's
06:58 family is growing.
07:00 It's time for a ceremony.
07:02 Okay, Chris, we'll also have our
07:04 beloved KB Stars with us.
07:06 Caprice! And I'm also with
07:08 Seth. Welcome to
07:10 Believable's KB Rockets Challenge!
07:14 Of course, we need our materials first.
07:16 So, we need an old plastic bottle,
07:18 a funnel,
07:20 cork stopper,
07:22 vinegar,
07:24 and baking soda.
07:26 So, step one, pour vinegar
07:28 into the bottle using a funnel
07:30 or cork stopper.
07:32 What we're putting in the bottle
07:34 is a total of 45 ml
07:36 of vinegar.
07:38 And the next thing we're going to put
07:40 is baking soda.
07:42 Just two teaspoons of baking soda
07:44 and then it will boom.
07:46 So, we're going to put it on a tissue.
07:48 We're going to win here.
07:50 This will make it rise, right?
07:52 Yes, it will make it rise.
07:54 You're good!
07:56 Then,
07:58 cover the bottle with a rubber stopper
08:00 or cork.
08:02 There we go.
08:04 There we go.
08:06 It's done.
08:08 [Screaming]
08:10 [Screaming]
08:12 So, now it's your turn.
08:14 It's your turn.
08:16 Here we go.
08:18 The baking soda.
08:20 And blast off!
08:22 And blast off!
08:24 And blast off!
08:26 Alright.
08:28 One point to Team Jeremy
08:30 and one point to Team Pamela.
08:32 So, that means
08:34 we have a decision time.
08:36 We're going to have a tiebreaker.
08:38 Let's do it!
08:40 Shake, shake, shake!
08:42 Don't do that!
08:44 [Screaming]
08:46 What do you think?
08:48 Can you make it rise?
08:50 Jeremy?
08:52 Let's go!
08:54 Shake!
08:56 I told you!
08:58 So, the winner is
09:00 clearly, clearly,
09:02 Jeremy and his team.
09:04 Congratulations!
09:06 Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate
09:08 with the chemical formula
09:10 NaHCO3.
09:12 One molecule of this is made
09:14 of one sodium atom,
09:16 one hydrogen atom,
09:18 one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms.
09:20 The vinegar
09:22 is made of acetic acid
09:24 and water.
09:26 When the two ingredients are mixed,
09:28 the hydrogen atom of vinegar
09:30 is combined with the hydrogen and oxygen atoms
09:32 of the baking soda.
09:34 That's why the molecule H2O
09:36 or water was formed.
09:38 Meanwhile, the acetate ion
09:40 of vinegar is combined
09:42 with the sodium atom
09:44 of baking soda.
09:46 And sodium acetate was formed,
09:48 which is made of salt.
09:50 The remaining part of baking soda is carbon dioxide.
09:52 Since it's free from other chemical bonds,
09:54 it can be excreted
09:56 as a gas.
09:58 The pressure inside the bottle
10:00 will be strong until the cork
10:02 or stopper is opened.
10:04 I believe!
10:06 It really feels like we're flying
10:08 when we experiment here at
10:10 I Believe!
10:12 I haven't seen that for a long time.
10:14 So, we can't use it anymore?
10:16 Well, we can recycle it.
10:18 It's a finished product.
10:20 Wow!
10:22 The color of the liquid
10:28 can be changed by shaking it.
10:30 Huh?
10:32 Wow!
10:34 What do you want for your Christmas decoration?
10:36 Christmas tree!
10:38 Christmas tree!
10:40 I haven't seen that for a long time.
10:42 So, we can't use it anymore?
10:44 Well, we can recycle it.
10:46 It's a finished product.
10:48 This is what we need.
10:50 A plate, a heat gun,
10:52 safety goggles, safety gear,
10:54 and bowls.
10:56 I placed the plate
10:58 on top of the glass bowl.
11:00 It's moving!
11:02 Then, I'll place the heat gun
11:04 in front of it.
11:06 It's amazing!
11:08 There it is!
11:10 It's amazing!
11:12 It's amazing!
11:14 It's already deformed.
11:16 When it's soft and deformed,
11:18 we'll place it inside
11:20 the bowl.
11:22 There it is!
11:24 It's better than the molds we used.
11:28 Yes.
11:30 It's not clay anymore.
11:32 There it is!
11:34 Let's see.
11:36 This is our
11:38 finished product.
11:40 [cheering]
11:42 [cheering]
11:44 [cheering]
11:46 [cheering]
11:48 Before streaming,
11:52 download, MP3, CD, and cassette tape,
11:54 there is a plate
11:56 or phonograph record.
11:58 On its surface,
12:00 there is a spiral groove
12:02 where the song or sounds are stored
12:04 through analog technology.
12:06 In 1889,
12:08 the first form of a plate was used.
12:10 But in 1948,
12:12 polyvinyl chloride was used
12:14 as the material for this.
12:16 In short, vinyl records or vinyl.
12:18 To make it sound,
12:20 we will place it on a turntable.
12:22 Polyvinyl chloride is a type of plastic
12:24 that is affected by heat.
12:26 That's why the shape changes
12:28 when it is heated.
12:30 I believe.
12:32 I believe.
12:34 Do you believe that the color of a liquid can change
12:36 by shaking?
12:38 Huh?
12:40 Just shake it?
12:42 [shouting]
12:44 This is what we need.
12:46 Water,
12:48 bottle with cover,
12:50 popsicle stick,
12:52 glucose, sodium hydroxide,
12:54 and indigo carmine.
12:56 So we put the water
12:58 in the bottle.
13:00 250 ml.
13:02 And then,
13:04 5 grams of
13:06 sodium hydroxide.
13:08 And then,
13:12 glucose.
13:14 That's the measure.
13:16 Mix it until it dissolves.
13:18 The color changed to the original.
13:20 Now, I think we're good.
13:22 We can now add the last
13:24 ingredient, which is the indigo carmine.
13:26 3 grams.
13:28 That's the measure.
13:30 Mix it.
13:32 Mix it.
13:34 Okay.
13:36 Is this the right color?
13:40 It's a bit dark.
13:42 It's super dark.
13:44 Wow!
13:46 It changed color!
13:48 It's like...
13:52 It's awesome!
13:54 It's like a bluish-gray.
13:56 Like this?
14:00 It's super dark.
14:02 There.
14:04 The red is overpowering.
14:08 There!
14:10 Wow!
14:12 Green and then yellowish-green.
14:14 Red!
14:16 Wow!
14:18 Indigo carmine
14:20 is a redox indicator.
14:22 It's a compound that changes
14:24 color depending on potential
14:26 differences. In this experiment,
14:28 the reason is glucose
14:30 so the solution will turn yellow.
14:32 Oxygen is the reason
14:34 why it turns green.
14:36 But the change is not direct.
14:38 It will pass through
14:40 the red color.
14:42 At first, indigo carmine
14:44 is in a reduced state.
14:46 It was added by electrons.
14:48 It absorbed the shorter
14:50 wavelength of light, like blue light.
14:52 That's why the azole
14:54 is not visible here.
14:56 It is reflected by yellow light.
14:58 That's why it is yellow.
15:00 Do you remember the colors of the rainbow?
15:02 Red, orange, yellow.
15:04 Green, blue,
15:06 indigo, violet.
15:08 Red has the longest wavelength.
15:10 Violet has the shortest wavelength.
15:12 When the solution was mixed,
15:14 the indigo carmine
15:16 was oxidized.
15:18 Oxygen was mixed from the air inside the jar.
15:20 What happened is
15:22 it was reduced by electrons.
15:24 It absorbed blue and green light.
15:26 The red color was reflected.
15:28 That's why it is visible.
15:30 When the solution was mixed again,
15:32 the indigo carmine
15:34 was fully oxidized.
15:36 The longer wavelength of light
15:38 was absorbed, like red.
15:40 That's why it turned green.
15:42 I believe.
15:44 What's your favorite Christmas decor?
15:46 Christmas tree!
15:48 Okay.
15:50 What are you doing?
15:52 Because Christmas is coming.
15:54 I noticed that
15:56 you don't have
15:58 Christmas decor.
16:00 Yes, you're right.
16:02 Christmas is coming.
16:04 I don't have decorations here in our studio
16:06 and laboratory.
16:08 You're handsome, Chris.
16:10 What's your favorite
16:12 Christmas decor?
16:14 Christmas tree!
16:16 Okay.
16:18 Here, Chris.
16:20 We have a skeleton of a Christmas tree.
16:22 It's made of rattan hoops,
16:24 sticks of bamboo,
16:26 we also have a lamp,
16:28 and a tube.
16:30 It also needs a tube.
16:32 And of course,
16:34 CDs to wear
16:36 on Christmas.
16:48 You're so heavy!
16:50 You're so heavy!
16:52 You're so heavy!
16:56 Okay.
16:58 Wait, we have more.
17:00 What else? Christmas lights?
17:02 Dim lights, please.
17:04 Just a few.
17:06 Christmas lights!
17:08 See?
17:10 We have Christmas lights.
17:12 Our Christmas is complete.
17:14 Our Christmas is complete.
17:16 We have a recycled Christmas tree.
17:18 You're so cheap, Chris!
17:20 We have a Christmas tree made of recycled materials.
17:22 Yes!
17:24 CDs, rattan, bamboo,
17:26 we have a star
17:28 made of board,
17:30 tube,
17:32 and Christmas lights.
17:34 Yes.
17:36 You're right.
17:38 And for the high believers,
17:40 if you want...
17:42 Lights on, please.
17:44 And we can still save money
17:46 because it's made of recycled materials.
17:48 You're right.
17:50 And we can protect our environment
17:52 because we don't throw waste everywhere.
17:54 And for the high believers,
17:56 if you want to make a star,
17:58 you can just cut a piece of wood
18:00 and put it on the door.
18:02 Thank you, high believers.
18:04 High believers, thank you!
18:06 We'll see you again next week.
18:08 Here at the happiest Sunday morning in the country,
18:10 this is...
18:12 High City!
18:14 High City!
18:16 High City!
18:18 High City!
18:20 (upbeat music)
