Circle of Hands

Circle of Hands is a fun way to start a discussion on circuits.

Alternate Text

A hand boiler is a completely closed glass container made of two bulbs connected by a looped piece of tubing. Within the hand boiler is an ethanol-dye solution. You can perform a simple distillation on this system with just a warm hand and a cup of ice water.

Alternate Text

Watch a glass bird that “drinks” from a cup for hours to demonstrate important chemical properties.

Circle of Hands

A very quick and simple classroom activity can be performed to show that our bodies, being made of ionic solutions and permeable membranes, can act as conductors of electricity. Don’t worry—you won’t feel a thing!

Alternate Text

Spin the disk and watch the electrons orbit the nucleus! A great way to demonstrate the classical Bohr model. Look at the Dazer from different angles and you can actually see the protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom—with a three-dimensional effect.

Alternate Text

You’ve never seen sand like this! Mystic Sand, with its hydrophobic coating, forms fun underwater sand cakes, towers, and “intestine-like” designs—and then, when removed from the water, it is found to be completely dry!

Alternate Text

Demonstrate and discuss Silly Putty’s® unique properties.

Alternate Text

Use bubbles as a teaching aid to introduce molecular geometry. Simple demonstration, good clean fun!

Alternate Text

The Magic® Garden is a miniature, artificial landscape that grows causing the flowers to bloom, trees to bud, and snow to appear on the mountain. In about three hours, the landscape will begin blossoming.
