The Oscillating Iodine Starch Clock

If you look carefully you can see I’m petrified it won’t work. Rachel Lutzker on the other hand is just petrified!

Tuesday afternoon on FoxCT I performed an oscillating starch clock experiment. I love doing this. It’s incredibly visible. If you look carefully you can see I’m petrified it won’t work. Rachel Lutzker on the other hand is just petrified!

Thanks to Dr. Eric Mahan at the University of Hartford for getting me set up.

  1. Wow, that was very cool… (including the momentary panic when it wasn’t changing color!)..thanks for putting it on the web!

  2. We now watch the foxct news mainly to see your experiments. That was so wild! We now have two favorite meteorologists you and Rachel Frank. Too bad you can’t do the weather together. It would be ALMOST (nothing will replace you and Nyberg!)like old times bantering back and forth.

  3. I have a chemistry degree and have been working as a chemist for over 20 years, but I’ve never seen this experiment. Geoff, you looked like a pro out there.

  4. Thanks Geoff,
    Alexis and I really enjoyed watching this! (very cool said the 11 year old, her mom thought so too!)

  5. So cool!!! We home school my 9 year old and she loves Bill Nye the Science Guy. I think she will now love “Geoff Fox – Science Rocks” guy… yes, I want credit if you use that LOL!!! Keep up good work!!!
