The document outlines two home experiments: Dancing Raisins and Magic Milk. The Dancing Raisins experiment demonstrates carbonation and buoyancy using soda and raisins, while the Magic Milk experiment illustrates surface tension and chemical reactions with milk, food coloring, and dish soap. Both experiments provide educational insights into physical science concepts and encourage hands-on learning.

Perform following experiment in home and share a video (any two experiments)

1. Dancing Raisins

Concept: Carbonation and Buoyancy


Materials Needed:

• Clear carbonated soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)


• Raisins
• Clear glass

Instructions:

1. Fill the Glass: Pour carbonated soda into a clear glass.


2. Add the Raisins: Drop a few raisins into the soda and observe what happens.

Explanation:
The bubbles of carbon dioxide in the soda adhere to the surface of the raisins, causing them
to rise to the top. When the bubbles pop, the raisins sink back down, creating a “dancing”
effect.

Educational Insight:
This experiment provides a visual representation of buoyancy and gas dynamics. Students
can explore concepts such as density, buoyancy, and the behavior of gases, enhancing their
understanding of the properties of liquids and solids.

2. Magic Milk Experiment

Concept: Surface Tension and Chemical Reaction


Materials Needed:

• Milk
• Dish soap
• Cotton swab
• Food coloring
• Shallow dish

Instructions:

1. Pour Milk: Fill a shallow dish with milk to cover the bottom.
2. Add Colors: Drop different food colors around the surface of the milk.
3. Add Soap: Dip a cotton swab in dish soap and touch it to the surface of the milk.

Explanation:
The dish soap reduces the surface tension of the milk, causing the food coloring to swirl and
mix in vibrant patterns due to the soap’s reaction with the fat in the milk.

Educational Insight:
Students learn about surface tension, chemical reactions, and the properties of liquids. This
experiment can spark discussions on the role of surfactants in everyday products, such as
detergents and emulsifiers in food.

3. Invisible Ink with Lemon Juice

Concept: Oxidation
Materials Needed:

• Lemon juice
• White paper
• Cotton swab
• Heat source (like a lamp or iron)

Instructions:

1. Write a Message: Use a cotton swab dipped in lemon juice to write a secret message
on white paper.
2. Dry the Paper: Allow the paper to dry completely.
3. Reveal the Message: Carefully hold the paper close to a heat source to reveal the
hidden message.

Explanation:
When heated, the lemon juice oxidizes and turns brown, revealing the message. This
demonstrates a chemical change that occurs with heat exposure.

Educational Insight:
Students explore the principles of oxidation and heat reactions. This experiment can lead to
discussions on other forms of invisible ink, such as those used in spy stories or security
measures in various industries.

4. Balloon Rocket

Concept: Newton’s Third Law of Motion


Materials Needed:

• Balloon
• String
• Straw
• Tape

Instructions:

1. Set Up the String: Thread a string through a straw and tie it between two points (like
chair legs) so that it is taut.
2. Prepare the Balloon: Inflate a balloon without tying it and tape it to the straw.
3. Release the Balloon: Let go of the balloon and watch it propel along the string.

Explanation:
According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction. The air rushing out of the balloon in one direction causes the balloon to move in the
opposite direction.

Educational Insight:
Students learn about fundamental physics principles, particularly motion and forces. This
experiment can be expanded to discuss real-life applications of rocket science and the basic
principles that govern space travel.
