Snap, Crackle and Pop Your Way into Science Part 2 Gail Dickinson gdickinson@madison-schools.com PowerPoint -
3. Magic Candles Teacher Materials • 2 rectangular aluminum pans • 3 glasses • Food coloring • 6 birthday candles • Putty • Water to fill ½ way up the pan • Matches
4. Magic Water (surface tension lab) • You only need a few common kitchen ingredients to perform this science magic trick. • black pepper • water • dishwashing liquid • plate or bowl Milk lab
5. Christmas Lights Circuits • Christmas tree lights (The length of wire on each end should be • long enough to stretch from one end of a battery to the other. • This will also give you a way to test the lights and batteries to • make sure they are working. This also creates a very simple • circuit.) • Tape • Scissors (also a knife or a pair of wire strippers) • Ruler • Pencil (marker) • Batteries (3 or 4) • Electrical tape, or play dough (to hold the batteries in place) • Aluminum foil (heavy duty works best) Cut to the width of the • ruler and folded in half. • Long copy paper (or bulletin board paper cut to size, etc. • whatever works and is most economic)
6. CD Bubbles • CD scraped • Lighter or match *** The fumes can be noxious****
7. Flying Tea Bag • Get a teabag 2. Remove the metal clip and empty its contents 3. Form it into the shape of a cylinder 4. Place it upright on a flat surface • Burn it from the top. After a while, the burning teabag will start to rise as it is less dense than air.
8. Insta Snow • Insta-Snow® is actually derived from the superabsorbent polymer found in baby diapers. • The polymer soaks up water using the process of osmosis (water molecules pass through a barrier from one side to the other). • When water comes in contact with the polymer, it moves from outside the polymer to the inside and causes it to swell. • The polymer chains have an elastic quality, but they can stretch only so far and hold just so much water.
9. Miracle Fish • Good introductory lab • You can buy them at Oriental Trading Co. • Have students design an experiment to explain why the fish moves
