In this experiment, we will magically force electrons from Scotch Tape to pass to and from a table. Of course, you won’t be able to see the electrons transfer, but you will definitely see the effects of the hopping electrons.

Magic floating orb of tinsel experiment – demonstration of positive and negative static charges.
Science can often seem like magic. In this mind-bending experiment, we’ll demonstrate a fundamental scientific principle with an experiment that will astonish your friends – and all you’ll need is a PVC pipe, Christmas tinsel, and a head of clean, dry hair to create a “magic wand” that will float a colorful orb.
Look Ma, I’m a Battery
A DC microammeter is an instrument that measures the electric current in a circuitIn a nutshell, a battery uses a chemical reaction to produce an electrical current. In this experiment, we will create an electric current using nothing more than our own bodies (Geek Slop promises this won’t hurt…. much).
Lemon battery experiment – if life gives you lemons, make a battery!
Batteries store chemical energy that can be transmitted as electrical energy through various components in a circuit. You can think of the circuit as the path the electrons (electricity) take. The path has to have no breaks in it and it much be a path made of a material that will allow the electrons to…
Charge Up a Light Bulb with static electricity – electrical charges experiment
A wonderfully weird collection of alternative Periodic Table of the Elements charts (plus a couple of normal ones too).
Here’s a variety periodic tables in case you periodically need one. Remember, the keys to the mysteries of the universe all lie within the tables below.
Bioluminescent microorganisms in our oceans – nature’s beautiful palette of sea sparkles
It’s a hauntingly beautiful phenomenon created by an unusually high concentration of Noctiluca scintillans (or Sea Sparkles), a single-celled bioluminescent algae of the dinoflagellate species that turns the water a brilliant, glowing, ethereal blue. Floating in swarms of millions and feeding on plankton and bacteria, it is believed that the Sea Sparkles generate their glow…
New mind-bending model successfully describes the universe with no “Big Bang”, no beginning, and no end
A professor at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan has proposed a new model built from some of the most basic entities: time, space, mass, and length. In this new mind-bending model, time and space can be converted into each other and mass and length also convert in the same manner. Basically, as the universe…
Captured sea serpent? No, it’s a rarely seen Giant Oarfish
The picture above is not photoshopped nor is the strange looking creature some sort of sea serpent. What we have here is a rare Oarfish, found in tropical waters but rarely seen or caught. Oarfish frequent depths down to 3,300 feet and can grow up to 56 feet in length (they are considered one of…
Last week’s El Reno, Oklahoma tornado classified as widest tornado in U.S. history
Today the National Weather Service reported that the May 31, 2013 EF-5 tornado that struck El Reno, Oklahoma (25 miles west of Oklahoma City), was the widest tornado on record. Measuring 2.6 miles across, it beat the previous 2.4-mile wide twister that hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004. The Friday tornado and its resulting…
