16/10/2024 is when I'm writing about the cornflour experiment, when we actually did this experiment, I don't know.

This experiment started when a busk off was over leaving my friends with nothing really to do. One of them (Jess) had an idea to burn cornflour. The experiment went that there was a tube connected to a big can. And in that big can was a can inside. When you blew into the tube that had cornflour, it was blew the lid off. And that's what we tried to do, one problem though. They tubes in school were obviously toxic especially when made contact with your lips. So my group tried to find a replacement for it. We settled on the bottle that the chemicals are put in

So here's how the experiment worked. You get your thing that shoots the cornflour. Angle it to be under the flame so that it can catch on fire. And then you fire and it flips the lid off. Another problem though. The bottle of cornflour we were using wasn't strong enough to flip the lid off. So again we had to find another replacement. One of the people in the Science busker suggest we use a syringe. And it worked! Making the flame stronger and bigger.

The same problem though, it could not flip the lid off. But since the syringe was stronger, it made the flame bigger. Which was of course a hazard. It also made a bigger mess, since there were cornflour that was able to escape the flame. So we ended it one finally big flame, and cleaned up the messed and put it to rest

PS: Icing sugar also work with this experiment
