The journey for creation of light bulb is shown on this video.
"This is a collection of experiments using a Van de Graaff generator.
The generator uses a belt and two rollers to build up a charge in the dome on top. The electrons will jump from the dome to reach a grounded object. Since like charges repel one another, objects placed on top of the dome will become charged and then be repelled.
This is the same machine sometimes used to make someone's hair stand up in classrooms or in science centers."

Pyrolytcs graphite is a diamagnetic material, which means that a magnetic field will be repelled by this material. Thus the magnet floats
A simple science trick you can do at home, using two rubber bands and a CRT TV screen. The TV screen works as a stroboscopic light, and when the frequency of rubber band is near the TV vertical frequency the rubber band seems to moving in slow motion.
"A single seed crystal was added to the saturated sodium Acetate solution while at 30C. Omnidirectional needle-like crystals radiated outward from the seed on contact at the solution's surface."

"This is a demonstration called the rubber band heat engine. As the name suggests, you take rubber bands, apply heat to them and they do work for you... just not terribly much of it. But its interesting nonetheless."

Using some sugar, NaOH, and KMnO4 is easy to prepare a rainbow juice. The KMnO4 is reducing and changing the flask color.

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.

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.

Homemade lava lamp using simple materials
Using simple materials is possible make a lava lamp as shown above.
The water is more dense than the vegetable oil, so it sink. When the seltzer tablet is added the gás liberated makes the water float.

Running Pepper: a miracle of surface tension
Here we have another example of science experiments that uses surface tension to works.
Spread peppers in a plate full of water as the video above shows, then put a drop of liquid soap on your finger and put the finger in the middle of the plate to make the peppers run away.
In the post "How many pins is possible to put in a glass full of water" we explain what is surface tension, the soap will reduce the surface tension (the attractive force between the molecules of surface) and the water will run and carry the peppers with it.
