list some simple science experiments that can be done at home
Answers
Answer:
The most obvious one would be baking soda volcano experiment
Explanation:
The red lava is the result of a chemical reaction between the baking soda and vinegar. In this reaction, the carbon dioxide gas is produced, pressure builds up inside the plastic bottle until the gas bubbles out of the volcano. This is a good representation of what happens in real volcanoes.
Answer:
Combine equal parts of sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until all of the sugar is dissolved.
Then, slowly add more sugar and mix, slowly adding more sugar and mixing until the sugar will no longer dissolve in the water.
The water should start to look a little cloudy. That is when you know that no more sugar is dissolving and the perfect sugar-saturation has been reached.
The short version is that you are creating a saturated sugar solution, or a solution in which no more sugar can dissolve at a particular temperature.
The amount of sugar verses water used should be roughly 3:1. You can easily double & triple the recipe as long as you mantain a 3:1 ratio.
Add candy flavoring if desired, and then continue to heat the water until it comes to a simmer.
Remove the sugar-water from the heat and allow it to cool.
Preparing the Candy Sticks
Cut the skewers to a desirable size for the jar(s) that you are using. Then, dip the sticks in water and roll them in sugar.
Set the sugar-coated sticks aside and allow them to dry.
Prepping the Jars
Once your sugar-water is cool enough pour it into jars, using one jar for each color of rock candy that you wish to make.
Once the sticks are dry carefully place them into the jar(s).
You want to make sure that the sugar-coated sticks are completely dry before placing them in the jars.
The rock candy needs the sugar on the sticks to grow, and if the sugar isn't dry it will dissolve in the water.
It is also important to make sure that the sticks are not touching the bottom or sides of the jar.

hope it helped:). this is about a sugar crystallization experiment. I think that was too much of a work.
