Try these cool tricks with your phone’s flashlight

Try It Out Tuesday tests a couple of cool science-inspired hacks with a little help from your phone

Sometimes you watch a crime or survival show and wonder, how do people do certain things using everyday items? How do they make a black light to look for clues, DNA, or germs? How do they make the room brighter with just a water bottle?

Watch the video above to see Kila try it out!
