SOME SIMPLE SCIENCE WITH EVERYDAY MATERIALS

- Balancing Nails on a Nail

- Lightning in Your Mouth
- Coat-Hanger Chimes
- Non-Newtonian Fluid
Make a thick slurry of cornstarch and water. Unlike ordinary liquids, the
slurry will flow easily under a small pressure but resists moving when a
sudden or strong force is applied. (Maybe there's a lesson in this about
human nature!)

> VI. RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS EXPERIMENTS
There are several ways to change the rate of a chemical reaction. It can
be either sped up or slowed down. There are 4 things that affect the rate
of a chemical reaction:
      1. Concentration
      2. Surface Area
      3. Catalysts
      4. Temperature - Concentration of vinegar (Balloon Blowing)
* - Surface Area (Antacid Tablet Race)
? - Paper Clip Catalyst
- Heat (Dry Ice Film Poppers)
- Flaming Coffee Creamer (sfc. area)
