Spectacular Science

Amaze your audience with awesome chemistry demonstrations! Rehearse and perform a science show to entertain your friends and family, and teach them some science in the process. The experiments in this kit have been carefully selected and scripted to create exciting performances.

This chemistry set contains the lab equipment, materials, and chemicals you need to put on your own science show. A special 64-page, full-color, comic-book style manual guides you through the preparation and performance of 25 shows. The manual instructs you how to conduct each experiment, explains what is happening scientifically, and gives you stage directions for executing it smoothly and safely like a professional. Special cue cards are also included to help you remember your lines and each experiment's procedure.

The experiments are divided into five shows. In the elemental show, you can crush a soda can with water and heat, move particles with your magic wand, produce a fabric that doesn't burn, make dazzling colored flames with chemicals, and craft a blazing witch's breath. In the water show, you will defy gravity with water, make water vanish into thin air, bend a spoon and a stream of water, repel water with your fingertips, and make a fire-resistant balloon. The carbon dioxide show gives you a stage to make a self-inflating balloon and a self-destructing bottle, and command soap bubbles to rest on an invisible pond. In the candle show, you will light a candle with water, light a candle remotely, and magically extinguish candles in four ways. For encores, you can watch mystical glowing black snakes grow from a pile of powder, turn red "fruit punch" into purple "grape juice," make sparkling fireworks from an orange, and turn "milk" into a solid and back into a liquid again.
