Super Strong Paper - Cool Science Experiment

If you thought school notebooks were just for taking notes, you’ll be surprised to see what Steve Spangler can do with two notebooks, some rope and two pick-up trucks. It’s Steve’s Monday STEM challenge.

I did that and my sister was flipping through the pages trying to find the glue😂

rthe rope is not holding the pages together, the rope is just connecting the car to the notebooks

How would you bridge this into explaining the math side if it?

[brandanschlenker]

How can u make home made helium to play with

[amoebida]

Of course it won't be able to break. The rope is in between the pages preventing them from going apart. So it doesn't really prove anything

This is not a science, this is pure BS.

If presenter just add the 'explanation' that static friction is higher than dynamic friction, then this we may call science. Othervise, go figure...

EDIT: Also, many sheets of paper make more friction, but only if this book(s) or whatsoever does not begin to open, and lower the number of interlaced surfaces.

The car was pulling the the car not the freaking book. So yah, not strong. But pulling the book yourself, ....thats strong.
