Cool footage of an innovative dad in Australia using oil instead of water to set up a slip and slide for his children during a drought.

The video, filmed yesterday near Sydney, shows Jacob Strickling from the YouTube channel Make Science Fun putting together the contraption for his teenage son's birthday, using vegetable oil instead of water as Sydney is currently suffering a dry spell.

Normally this Dad pumps water from his dam for the giant slip and slide he sets up for his kids.
However, Sydney Australia has been suffering from dry conditions and the dam level was too low to pump water from.
His son who was having a party with his teenage friends still wanted some form of slip and slide so he came up with the idea of using vegetable oil instead of water.
It was moderately successful and some of the teenagers ventured a turn.
Jacob is the creator of the YouTube Channel 'Make Science Fun' and regularly does fun science activities with his kids.
