3. 3. Drop in an effervescent tablet and watch as the colored water forms bubbles that rise and fall.

6. Static Electricity Butterfly

1. 1. Cut a butterfly shape out of tissue paper and tape it lightly to a flat surface.
2. 2. Inflate a balloon and rub it on your hair or a wool sweater to generate static electricity.
3. 3. Hold the balloon close to the butterfly and watch it “dance” as it is attracted to the balloon.

7. Rainbow in a Glass

1. 1. Prepare four small cups of water and add different food coloring to each cup.
2. 2. Add increasing amounts of sugar to each cup (e.g., 1 teaspoon in the first, 2 teaspoons in the second, etc.).
