How To Create Electricity From Falling Water

In zero gravity, ping pong becomes real-life pong, because with no gravity to alter its course, the ball just keeps travelling straight in the same direction.

Materials: 1.granulated sugar 2.food coloring 3.stovetop safe container 4. Cream of tartar 5.candy thermometer 6.light corn syrup 7.water 8.adult 9.aluminum foil pan 10.measuring utensils Steps: 1. First, add one and three forts of sugar in the stove top safe container 2. next, add 1 cup of water 3.then, add half a cup of corn syrup 4.next, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar 5.then, combine all the ingredients 6. Next, slowly heat the heat the mixture at a low boil while stirring 7.then, keep the mixture add a low boil and please a candy thermometer in the container. 8.next, keep the mixture boiling until the temperature reaches 300 Fahrenheit 9.then, pour the mixture into the foil pan 10.next, add food coloring to the pan and spread the colors 11.finally, let the mixture cool until hardened. Lesson: This experiment is used in candy making. When you add corn syrup, it prevents the sugar from re-crystallizing. The cream of tartar separates the sugar crystals into glucose and fructose, which are simple sugars. The light that passes through the translucent sugar glass will take the colors from the food coloring you choose

Materials: 1. A wooden skewer 2. A clothespin 3. 1 cup of water 4. 2-3 cups of sugar 5. A tall narrow glass

Steps: 1. First, clip the skewer into the clothespin so that it hangs down inside the glass and is 1 in from the bottom of the glass. 2. Next, remove the skewer and clothespin and put the aside. 3. Then, pour the water into a pan and boil it. 4. Next, pour ¼ cup of sugar into the boiling water and stir till it dissolves. 5. Then, keep adding more sugar, each time stirring until it dissolves. 6. Next, remove the heat and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. 7. Then, ask an adult to pour the mixture into the jar to the top. 8. Next, submerge the skewer into the glass so it is hanging straight down the miss without touching the sides. 9. Finally, put it somewhere where it would not be disturbed and wait for the sugar crystals grow over the next 3-7 days.

Lesson: When you mix water and sugar, you created a saturated mixture, which means that the water could only hold the sugar if it was very hot. As the water cools, the sugar turns into crystals on the skewer.

Meteors become meteorites when they hit the ground. Hundreds of meteors enter earths atmosphere every day, very few of them hit soil. 

The human brain in comparison with those of other animals. The diverse yet unified pattern of nature never fails to amaze me.

The elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen - all crucial to life - are found in roughly the same proportions in comets and human beings. 

Materials: 1. Funnel 2. Baking Soda 3. 1/2 Cup of Vinegar 4. Small Balloon 5. Empty Plastic Bottle Steps: 1. First, pour the vinegar into the bottle. 2. Next, use the funnel fill the ballon with half of baking soda. 3. Then, put the neck of the balloon all the way over the neck of the bottle without letting any baking soda into the bottle. 4. Finally, lift the ballon up so that the baking soda falls from the balloon into the bottle and mixes with the vinegar. Lesson: The baking soda, a base, and vinegar, an acid, create an acid base reaction and carbon dioxide. Since gases take a lot of room to spread out, the carbon dioxide fills the bottle and, thus, inflates the balloon.
