Experiments!

Simple Experiments:

These experiments are classified as simple and easy to make, as they are created using day to day objects you can find at home and do not include dangerous or difficult procedures.

Instant Freeze Water Trick

Whether it was in a video on YouTube or on a Pinterest blog, you have probably seen this experiment before. This is how to make an instant water slushy using only products you have at home!

You will need:

• A bottle of pure water
• Rock salt
• A bowl or container
• Ice
• A thermometer

1. Place the ice into the bowl and put the refrigerated bottle of water neck deep into the ice. Keep the bottle close to the centre of the bowl but make sure that it is buried in ice as much as possible.
2. Place a thermometer into the bowl and scatter the rock salt all over the surface of the ice generously.
3. Wait until the temperature of the bowl reaches -8 degrees. Do not let it get too cool as it may become too cold and freeze completely, ruining the experiment. Once the bowl reaches – 8 degrees, leave the bottle in there for 10 more minutes.
4. After the 10 minutes has passed, and the water is still is a liquid, remove the bottle gently
5. Hit the bottle sharply down against the table. Ice should form at the top of the bottle and will continue freezing down the liquid until the bottom.

Bouncy Eggs Project

Ever thought of making a simple egg bouncy and clear? Me neither. This easy and cheap project is an interesting yet simple experiment to try in your spare time. So here is how to make this eggcellent idea in 3 simple steps:

You will need:

• An egg
• Vinegar
• A cup
• a bowl

1. Simply place your egg in a glass and fill the glass with vinegar. Unfortunately, after this step, you must wait 5 days before the experiment is finished.
2. Once the long wait is over, take you egg out of the glass and place it in a bowl of water
3. Scrub and peel any leftover shell of the egg (if there is any) and you should be left with a clear, squishy egg.

This is the membrane of the egg, and if you were to compare a normal egg to this membrane, you will notice that there is a noticeable size difference. If you want a more challenging version of this experiment I suggest you check out this video of how to make glowing bouncy eggs!

Advanced experiments:

these experiments are considered difficult as they may contain difficult procedures or harsh ingredients tat could do harm if not treated correctly, or the ingredients are just hard to find.

Edible Water Bubbles

Unfortunately, for this odd experiment, you will need ingredients and tools which are hard to find. But if you just so happen to have sodium alginate and calcium lactate lying around, here is an extraordinary experiment you should try:

You will need

• 3 bowls
• At least 5 cups of water
• 1 grams of sodium alginate
• A hand mixer
• 5 grams of Calcium lactate

1. In one bowl, mix the sodium alginate and 1 cup of water with the hand mixer. Set this bowl aside for 15 minutes or until the bubbles are one.
2. Meanwhile, mix 4 cups of water and the calcium lactate together with a spoon.
3. Carefully use a measuring spoon to place a some of the sodium alginate mixtures into the bowl of the calcium lactate mixture.
4. Mix the water for 3 minutes, then carefully spoon the bubbles out of the mixture and place them into a separate bowl of water.
5. These small water bubbles are able to pop very easily and are full of a liquid. So they will not make too much mess.
