Different densities of liquids
Materials: 1. Half a lemon 2. Water 3. Spoon 4. Bowl 5. Cotton Bud 6. White Paper 7. Lamp Steps: 1. First, squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl and add 6 drops of water. 2. Next, mix the water and lemon juice with the spoon. 3. Then, dip the cotton bud into the bowl and write a message onto the paper. 4. Next, wait for the juice to dry. 5. Finally, heat the paper by holding it close to the light bulb to see the message. Lesson: Lemon juice is a substance that oxides and turns brown when heated. Other substances which work in the same way are orange juice, honey, milk, onion juice, vinegar, and wine. Invisible ink can also be made using chemical reactions or viewing the message with a UV light.

This is an easy one to try at home with the #kids: make your own homopolar motor. It is driven by the Lorentz force - the force which is exerted by a magnetic field on a moving electric charge. When a battery is placed on top of a magnet, and a wire then connects the top of the battery back down to the magnet, the circuit is complete.
Hi everyone! I'm Ashley P. and I'm a Girl Scout who wants to make a difference in the world. Currently, I've been working on my Gold Award Project, which is a project where Girl Scouts solve an issue in their community to earn the Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. In my project, I'm addressing the issue on how there are a lack of women in the STEM field by creating a program to do fun science experiments with younger girls. Also, I constructed this blog for parents and children to do exciting and simple experiments with their kids to spark a passion in this subject like what happened to me as a child. I hope you enjoy and try to accomplish the experiments I post! Also, please have adult supervision while completing these experiments.
