Elementeo review: Learn chemistry basics with a card game
Description:
This “experiment” is a little different than usual. We’ll take a break from the usual Science Lab experiment to give a quick review of Elementeo, a card game that can be used as an educational tool to introduce basic chemistry concepts. It’s one of those rare games with fun gameplay as well as education.

How to make a pinhole camera. Learn how your eyes work.
Description: A pinhole camera operates on the same principle as the human eye (and a bunch of other eyes, too!) How does a pinhole camera work? How do your eyes see? The answers for both questions are very similar.

How to electroplate copper
Warning: Copper sulfate is poisonous if swallowed, and the blue color makes it very attractive to small children. Do not leave the crystals or solutions unattended around very young children, who may try to eat or drink them!
Hot air takes up more space than cold air
Description:
When heated, air will expand. When cooled, air will compress. Hot air takes up more space than cold air, as this experiment demonstrates.

Easy electrolysis – how to make your own hydrogen
A note of caution on this experiment: One of the gasses produced is chlorine. While this is safe on a small scale, you should not replicate on a large scale without safeguards. Thanks to Larry Robinson for this information – for detail, see his comment below this article.
