Beakman weighs a slightly deflated basketball, pumps it up with air, and weighs it again to prove that air has weight. He explains that different gases have different densities, and to demonstrate this, he uses two shopping bags hanging from opposite ends of a suspended stick. He uses a pitcher to collect CO2 gas coming off of dry ice. When he pours the CO2 into one of the shopping bags, that bag's side of the balance goes down, illustrating that CO2 is denser than air and that different gases have different densities.

Professor Philip Brainard creates Flubber and tries to learn more about it. He performs quick tests on the physical properties of Flubber and finds that it is a highly viscous elastomer that can also phase shift between a liquid and a solid. Using observation skills, he also learns that Flubber is moldable, foldable, ductile, and elastic, among other properties.
