Miss America’s science experiment on stage will remind your Chemistry lab! Video goes viral
If you are a Science lover and loves to experiment then Miss America on stage science experiment will make your day!
Camille Schrier, Miss America wore a simple white lab coat and also cracked jokes by saying, ‘don’t try this at home’.
Schrier was standing in front of three flasks containing hydrogen peroxide. She picked up a beaker of ominous yellow potassium iodide, dumped it into the peroxide and made judges impressed with her amazing skills.
Notably, Camille is a student of pharmacy degree at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
On Thursday, she has defeated 50 women in the beauty pageant and won the title. She won a $50,000 (£38,000) scholarship and a one-year role as Miss America.

In her acceptance speech, the 24-year-old Schrier said she hoped to "break stereotypes about what it means to be a Miss America in 2020".

Reportedly, Schrier also told the celebrity panel, comprised of Kelly Rowland, Queer Eye's Karamo Brown and Superstore actress Lauren Ash, that "Miss America is someone who needs to educate".
In the video, it can be seen that how the 24-year-old’s Chemistry experiment showed that hydrogen peroxide decomposition can fume up the colorful substance with a fantastic effect.
