Take some jars, frozen-food trays, plastic cups and spoons, salt, water, sugar, vinegar and baking soda, and you have the basis for your very own chemistry lab! You don't need a lot of fancy equipment to perform these fun and interesting experiments.
1. Did you know cooking is chemistry? Make up a batch of sweet maple sugar candy or mouth-puckering pickles that demonstrate chemical changes in sugar and salt.
2. Some scientific investigations seem more like magic tricks. Place a banana into a jar without using your hands-the secret is air pressure.
3. Uncover some practical applications. Create marbled giftwrap while learning about negative and positive-charged molecules.
With dozens of exciting experiments to work on, all using materials found around the house, you'll become a chemistry whiz in no time!
