Flaming Snowball demonstration Watch this interesting flaming snowball video created by Sisler Science Squad! When the teacher, Bridget Sankovic touches the flame, it is shocking, but the science behind it is super cool! This snowball is actually made from a special mix of calcium acetate and ethanol. The ethanol burns with a cool blue flame, and the calcium acetate acts like a flame retardant, making it safe to hold for a short time (with adult supervision, of course!). Voiceover: Ojasvi Bhardw
