Mouse in the House

1 - Fizzing Volcano 24 min

Take a look at several experiments that include creating electricity by making a lemon battery to turn on a digital clock, surface tension of liquids by making "rainbow milk," chemical reaction with household chemicals to produce a "fizzing volcano", the density of fluids by producing a simple lava lamp, density by building a treasure diver using a tomato sauce packet.

2 - Soap Boat 24 min

Come investigate the surface tension reducing properties of soap by making a match stick boat, principles of a steam engine and build a simple egg steam boat, different densities of liquids, plastic by making "green monster slime", homemade invisible ink also known as "magic ink". We explore the pressure that can be caused by carbon dioxide by creating a "soda fountain".

3 - Crushing Can 21 min

We are going to build a simple electromagnet monopole motor. We look at the function of ammonium nitrate by making our own instant cold pack and explore air pressure. Let's investigate the properties of physics and heat conduction using a balloon and flame. We make our own glow in the dark liquid and explore the strangeness of fluorescents. We explore the power of pressure, heat, and other forces.

4 - Dancing Raisins 25 min

This experiment looks at the center of gravity of objects by balancing nails. The effect of carbon dioxide on density is explored by making raisins "dance." With our homemade musical straws we look at sound vibrations and frequency to produce music. We explore water vapor and water molecules through the formation of a cloud in a bottle.

5 - Egg in a Bottle 25 min

Explore the impact of carbon dioxide and oxygen interaction, spin a bucket of water round and round and learn about Inertia, see the effects between high and low air pressure! We will see an egg being "magically sucked" into a bottle and explore surface tension through the interaction of water vapor and carbon dioxide. We explore buoyancy by make an egg float like a boat!

6 - Alka Seltzer Rocket 26 min

Our experiment involves pressure caused by carbon dioxide build up, the movement of warm and cold water called convection currents. Explore the density of metal and water by making floating steel balls. Let’s make a paper cup telephone and explore the amplification of sound waves. So get ready, aim, and shoot a bull's eye with our own home made squeeze bottle arrow!

7 - Elephant Toothpaste 20 min

In this experiment we are going produce a timed chemical reaction with our Iodine clock reaction. We are going to grow our own crystals by using baking soda crystals and water. Let’s explore catalysts through the use of manganese dioxide and hydrogen peroxide by making a spontaneous kettle! We see how static electricity works utilizing a Van Der Graaf generator and making saucers fly!
