So today, I'm going to be making some liquid oxygen. Oxygen is normally a gas, but it can be turned into a liquid using liquid nitrogen. It's a bit hard to see, but liquid oxygen is faintly blue. This is very dangerous, but what's fun to do, is to throw a match into it. As a liquid, oxygen is an even more powerful oxidizer and it can sometimes react explosively.

WARNING: Liquid oxygen is extremely dangerous. It's an extremely strong oxidizer and can react explosively.
