In this science experiment we will mix molecules to make a glitter globe (i.e. a “snow globe”). We will combine rubbing alcohol, vegetable oil, and a few other tiny, shiny things to make a cool science toy.

Plastic cups in love experiment – a demonstration of Bernoulli’s principle
What does a flying airplane and a pitcher’s curve ball have in common? Well, besides the fact that both travel through the air at amazingly fast speeds – both are based on a principle called Bernoulli’s principle. Bernoulli, (pronounced Burr New Lee) was a Swiss mathematician who liked to piddle around with these types of…
How capillary action makes water go up – capillary action science experiment
Trapped Bird in a cage – a science experiment that demonstrates how our minds make animated cartoons appear as moving images in our heads.
Simulating gravity (or lack thereof) on film – an experiment to demonstrate our perception of weightlessness.
Zero-G refers to weightlessness and means “zero g-force” not “zero gravity” as some would believe. It’s most commonly envisioned as astronauts floating around in space. You can experience zero gravity in a free falling airplane too and in fact, astronauts use these free falling planes to train in a weightless environment.
The evolution of a spider (or not) experiment – demonstrating Darwin’s Theory of Evolution using cardboard spiders.
Being a prominent (ahem) member of the scientific community, Geek Slop has a lot of scientist friends. Geek Slop knows that the thing that bugs scientists more than anything, is when people don’t believe their theories (well, that and burning lab coats). And when it comes to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, scientists treat it almost…
Splatter blood for blood spatter analysis experiment – how to conduct forensic bloodstain pattern analysis just like the pros.
Where inside and outside are one and the same – the mobius strip experiment.
Super hero eggshells experiment – demonstrating the strength of arches and the power of superhero eggs.
Ever wonder why igloos are dome shaped and not square? Ever been amazed at how a suspension bridge can hold the weight of hundreds of passing cars with little or no apparent support underneath it? This experiment demonstrates how arches are used in architecture not only for aesthetic appeal but for a very useful and…
