That is what it looks like it you try to burn biscuits straight out of the packet.
This is what it looks like if you try to burn biscuits after you soak them in liquid oxygen:
Adding liquid oxygen means that the biscuits (the fuel in this reaction) can burn to their full potential. When you just burn them in air, there isn’t enough oxygen (one side of the fire triangle of heat, oxygen and fuel), and that limits the reaction.

Materials: 1. Water 2. A clear plastic bottle with a cap 3. Dish washing soap 4. Glitter Steps: 1. First, fill the bottle until it reaches 3 quarters full 2. Next, add 3 drops of dish washing soap in the bottle. 3. Then, sprinkle in 3 pinches of glitter. 4. Next, put the cap on tightly 5. Finally, turn the bottle upside down. And hold it by the neck. Quickly, spin the bottle in a circular motion for 10 seconds and stop to see a mini tornado in your bottle. Lesson: When you spin the bottle, it creates a water vortex. The water is spinning around the center of the vortex because of centripetal force. Centripetal force is an inward force directing an object or fluid towards the center of its circular path. Examples of natural vortexes are tornadoes, hurricanes, and waterspouts.

Scientists have discovered that hard coral likes eating plastic because it’s tasty to them. More research is needed to figure out why exactly and how it affects them. [Alex Seymour, Duke University]
Zoe is one of the rarest zebras in exsistance. She is what is called a Golden Zebra, although some refer to her as a “white” zebra. Zoe is the only Golden Zebra known to be in captivity at this time. Zoe was born on the Island of Molokai, Hawaii in 1998 and shortly after her and her mother, Oreo, were moved to the Three Ring Ranch, which is an animal sancturary on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Materials: 1. A D size battery 2. Paper clips 3. 3 feet of thin coated copper wire 4. A 3 inch large iron nail
Steps: 1. First, leave 8 inches of wire at one end and wrap most of the rest of the wire on the nail ( do not overlap the wires). 2. Next, leave 8 inches of wire at the other end of the nail. 3. Then, remove an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and attach one end of the wire to one end of the battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery. 4. Finally, put the nail near the paper clips and it should pick them up!
Lesson: Magnets that cannot be turned off like ones on our refrigerators are called permanent magnets. Since the magnet we made can be turned off and on, it is known as an electromagnet. They run on electricity and are only magnetic when the electricity is flowing through the wires, which has the molecules in the nail attract to the metal paper clips.
I remember when I was a child I had a book of fun science experiments. There were some experiments that I wanted to do and others that I did do. So, I feel like sharing some of them because everyone should do them some point in their lives. Be it they do it with friends, with their kids, siblings or whatnot. It’s fun and it’ll help to add to the good memories we already have.
1. Diet Coke and Mentos Eruption - One of the most popular experiments of modern times is the Diet Coke and Mentos Geyser. Made popular by Steve Spangler, this experiment is a lot of fun and sure to amaze your friends and family (assuming you do it outside rather than in the living room).
2. Invisible Ink with Lemon Juice - Making invisible ink is a lot of fun, you can pretend you are a secret agent as you keep all your secret codes and messages hidden from others. All you need is some basic household objects and the hidden power of lemon juice.
3. Make Your Own Rock Candy - Also known as Sugar Crystals and it’s my favorite experiment to do because it’s easy and tasty. They are made by crystallizing sugar and making it yourself means that you can make as many as you want, with any color and flavor you want.
4. Glow in the Dark - It’s always fun to make and see things glow in the dark. There’s actually a lot of experiments that deal with this, from making drinks that glow, glowing water, fake neon sign, glow in the dark alum crystals, glow in the dark crystal snowflakes, glow in the dark ink, glowing slime, glowing bubbles, glowing flower, and so on.
5. Change the Color of a Flower - This is a very simple experiment and only requires a few things to make it possible. Water, food coloring, a cup (or vase) and a flower. It’s always fun to see a flower change into a different color that’s uncommon for it’s kind. Such as blue or purple roses, aqua magnolias, green carnations, etc.
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 1/4 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.

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.
