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.

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. Water 2. A clear plastic bottle 3. Vegetable oil 4. Food coloring 5. Alka- Seltzer Steps: 1. First, pour water into into the plastic bottle until it's one quarter full 2. Next, pour vegetable oil until the bottle is nearly full. 3. Then, wait until the oil and water have separated. 4. Next, add 12 drops of any food coloring of your choice into the bottle. 5. Then, watch as the food coloring falls through the oil and mixes with the water. 6. Finally, cut a Alka-Seltzer tablet into 6 smaller pieces and drop one of them into the bottle. Lesson: Oil and water do not mix, so the oil stays on top because it has lower density than water. The piece of Alka-Seltzer tablet releases carbon dioxide gas that rises and takes the colored water to the top. The gas escapes and, thus, the colored water falls down. Alka-Seltzer fizzes because it contains citric acid and baking soda, which are reactive with water creating sodium citric acid and carbon dioxide.

Materials: 1. 3 white carnations 2. Scissors 3. Food coloring 4. 3 small cups 5. Water Steps: 1. First, get the 3 small cups and add 3/4 of the cup with water. 2. Next, in each cup at 8 drops of food coloring of your choice. (Make sure to pour different colors for in each cup to create more multi colorful flowers) 3. Then, snip the last centimeter of the carnations' stem and place each flower in the colored water. 4. Finally, wait for 2-4 days to see the results. Lesson: Transpiration is when plants draw water up through its stem, and , thus, the water evaporates from the leaves' stomata. As the water evaporates, it creates pressure that brings more water into the plant. Since the water had color, it made the flowers become that color.
