Galt Toys, Horrible Science - Explosive Experiments, Science Kit for Kids, Ages 8 Years Plus

Product Information

Investigate the effect of a number of variables on the rate of chemical reactions including the production of common gases and biochemical reactions.

This video from Thoisoi2 shows a chemical “traffic light” reaction, where a solution changes into the colours of traffic lights simply by being shaken up. The video gives clear instructions on how to carry out the science experiment yourself and gives the science behind why the reaction occurs. Consider chemical reactions in terms of energy, using the terms exothermic, endothermic and activation energy, and use simple energy profile diagrams to illustrate energy changes. This super-easy experiment is a really fun way to teach your child about magnets in a colorful, magical way, and it only requires simple materials from around the house.First, make sure your hair dryer is on a cool setting.Then, hold the ping pong above the nozzle and turn on the air. When you let the ping pong go, it should float! Next, try it on different settings. Try to see how far you can tilt your hair dryer before the ball drops. Coin Poppers | Make a bottle cap out of a penny and watch it pop! I have never tried this before and can’t wait to see how it works and test different coins and liquids to see if it makes a difference!

Get ready for a foamy explosion with the Microwave Ivory Soap experiment! Students should definitely try this exciting and hands-on activity. First, cut up several pipe cleaners and place them in a clear plastic box. The box does not need to be fancy, just see-through. Have more ideas to add to this list?

This apparatus can be improvised in a number of ways, but it is important that the resulting apparatus can blow a cloud of cornflour into the candle flame when the pipette filler is squeezed. An alternative arrangement is to place a small crucible inside the can, to contain the cornflour, and replace the funnel with a glass tube bent at right-angles, so that it’s tip is directed downwards into the crucible. Some prior experimentation and adjustment may be needed to ensure the demonstration works well.
