A quick science experiment involving an ordinary bar of Ivory soap and about two minutes of time in our microwave.
Microwaves use dielectric heating (or high frequency heating) to heat food. Basically, the microwave oven shoots ‘light beams’ that are tuned to excite the water molecule.
The trick is to use Ivory, which contains an unusually high amount of air. Since air contains water moisture, Ivory also has water hidden inside the bar of soap. The microwave excited the water molecules and my kids will never look at soap the same way again.
