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.

Marshmallows contains air inside, the vacuum will reduce the inner pressure and make the air inside the marshmallows expand, thus the marshmallows grow up.
When we put a penny in a flask containing nitric acid a chemical reaction happens, liberating nitrogen dioxide as a gas.
"Warning: Do not attempt this reaction. The gases produced are dangerous and must be properly controlled and ventilated. Also, the concentrated nitric acid used can cause severe acid burns.
If you've been keeping up, you know that we already popped a small balloon, but our intention all along was to go big. After purchasing larger balloons, we did a test run... and it was still essentially a flop. In this experiment, we use a snazzy apparatus with dual layered balloons to combat the corrosive nature of the Nitrogen Dioxide gas (and it really is corrosive).
The liquid in the first flask is concentrated Nitric Acid. When we placed a number of pennies in the flask, the acid reacted with the copper and released the nitrogen dioxide. The blue color in the copper solution is due to the copper ions.
You will notice a sort of double pop, and that is due to our double balloon layer. Contrary to popular belief, it is not magic.
If you're observant, you will also notice just how corroded the popped balloons did get. And, if you can take your eyes away from the balloons and smoke, check out the blue acid solution boiling in the foreground.
The overall after hours reaction should be considered a success, and hopefully you will find our diligent and persistent work to be enjoyable :)"

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Amazing science experiment: “nothing” put the candles out
What this video shows seems a magic trick but is pure science!
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) when is mixed up with vinegar (acetic acid) produces a gas called carbon dioxide. This gas fill the space around the candle flame and put it out because there is no oxygen, essential to combustion.
Some fire extinguishers use this kind of gas.

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.

Reaction between sugar and concentrated sulfuric acid produces coal
The concentrated sulfuric acid can take the water out of the sugar molecule producing coal plus water according to reaction equation:
C12H22O11(s) → 12 C(s) + 11 H2O(aq)
That is a exothermic process and liberates poison's vapors, then take care and use one appropriated place , don’t do it indoors!

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.
