Woowee! I blinked and all the sudden I've uploaded 12 new YouTube videos describing the science behind basic STEM demos you can do at home 🏃🏻♀️

This one in particular was fun. The floating stickwoman works for 3 reasons:
1) due to the oily silicone polymers used in them, dry erase marker ink is less sticky than regular ink, so it is easily unstuck from the plate with water
2) it doesn't dissolves in water. So when it is unstuck, that ink sticks together as that thing you drew - our stickwoman
3) dry erase marker ink is less dense than water, so that buoyancy force pushes it to the top of the water in the plate.
