Infra red light can be thought of as “heat”
The warmer something is, the more brightly it glows in the infrared.
Apiece of glass may be bright, but it is cool, so it will appear black in the infra red camera.
Even though a person may stand in shadows her body heat shines in the infrared.

Play baseball with molecules and learn what makes the sky blue or sometimes red!
Marshmallows contains air inside, the vacuum will reduce the inner pressure and make the air inside the marshmallows expand, thus the marshmallows grow up.
Click here to see how a piece of glass can become a electrical conductor.
"A small glass tube, held by copper wire, is placed in series with a light bulb. The glass acts as an insulator at room temperature, meaning the current cannot flow between the copper wires. This leaves an open circuit and the light bulb does not light up. Touching a conductor across the copper wires (with a metal screwdriver for instance) does complete the circuit because it allows current to flow.
However, when glass is sufficiently heated by a torch it becomes an ionic conductor. Ionic bonds in the glass are broken, allowing the charge carrying ions to move freely. Thus, when the glass is melted the current can flow, which closes the circuit and lights the bulb.

Egg in a Bottle Science Trick
Follow the instructions and learn the classic and fantastic science trick: “Egg in a Bottle"
The hot air inside the bottle cools down reducing the inner pressure, thus the atmospheric pressure will push the egg.

Paul Hewitt shows how to produce colored shadows
In this video we can see the three primary colors come together and forming white light. Paul Hewitt also shows how to produce colored shadows, that is incredible and fun! Try yourself in home; you’ll need just three lights: red, green and blue.
The TV screens uses the same principle, with this three colors mixed together is possible make any other color, will depends just of intensity of each one.

As you can see in the video above, the answer is a lot! The is possible thanks a property called surface tension. The liquid’s surface molecules attract each other forming drops or the spherical layer over the glass formed by the volume occupied by pins.
This property of liquids allows small insects literally walk over the water without sink!

Science Experiments: Magic soap bubbles
Baking soda and vinegar are very useful in science experiments, here we have another example in which this materials are used to amaze the people!
Put some vinegar in a aquarium, latter put some baking soda. The result of reaction is sodium acetate and carbon dioxide.
The CO2 is more dense than the air, so a soap bubble will float on it as a boat float on water. The buoyancy force is equal the weight of the bubble, thus we have the equilibrium and the bubble remains on interface CO2 / Air

How many pins is possible to put in a glass completely full of water?

Slow motion rubber band trick
Put a rubber band in front of a TV screen to see it vibrating in a slow motion. Actually the vibration remain the same but we have the sensation that it slow down. This phenomenon is possible just because the frequency of rubber band's vibration is near the vertical frequency of screen.
The TV screen works as a stroboscopic light and it will not works in front of LCD screen.

Build a little hot air balloon: the tea bag experiment
Using a simple tea bag is possible make a little hot air balloon, see the video instructions.
The fire heat the air inside the balloon, hot air is less dense than cold air, result: a buoyancy force greater than the weight will make the balloon fly.

Classic Science Experiments: Egg in a Bottle
You will need: a egg, an empty milk bottle and some matches
The match warm the air inside the bottle
the air become less dense and go out. Since the egg close the bottle, the air inside cool and the inner pressure reduce. Thus the atmosphere pressure push the egg.
