Interesting Science Experiments
There are many interesting science experiments out there that you can wow your friends and teachers with. All you have to do is put a little effort into it and you should have no problem coming up with an interesting science experiment. One such experiment is to show your friends and teachers that you can make moth balls dance! I recommend these printable science project plans for K-12 for hundreds of great project blueprints and this step-by-step guide for doing an award winning science fair project. Also be sure to check out these fun science kits as a fast, simple way to get started on your science experiment.
Dancing Moth Balls Experiment: Making moth balls dance Category: Chemistry Ages: Elementary School, Middle School All you need for this experiment is a glass filled half full with water. Add a little bit of vinegar to your glass of water, about 1/3 or ¼ of a cup (60 ml), and one teaspoon (10 ml) of baking soda, then carefully stir the mixture. Drop a few moth balls into the glass and have your audience watch. As long as the surfaces of the moth balls stay fairly rough, they should begin to bounce up and down in the glass. You can also do a similar experiment with raisins and clear pop, such as Sprite. In this experiment, all you have to do is fill a glass with Sprite and drop a few raisins into it. The raisins should begin to bounce up and down in the glass of pop. You can also substitute the raisins for moth balls and you should have the same effect in the pop. This project works because the irregular surfaces on the moth balls and the raisins hold some carbon dioxide bubbles, causing them to bob up and down in a dancing motion.
