Science Videos
This is a collection of videos I have made to show some of the projects featured at About Chemistry.
Dry Ice Bubble
All you need to make this giant bubble is dry ice, bubble solution, and either a little water or else tonic water and a black light (glowing liquid). You can make the bubble itself glow if you add a little highlighter ink to the bubble solution.

Dry Ice Volcano Cake
This party cake is very easy to make, plus it's very cool. If you want more of an eruption than just fog you can mix the dry ice with red-dyed liquid icing or red jello. When the dry ice bubbles, the 'lava' will flow.

Glowing Mentos Fountain
Tonic water glows bright blue under black light. You can use this characteristic to produce a spectacular glowing fountain. This project is safe for kids and great for parties. You can use diet tonic water if you want to avoid getting sticky.

Glowing Water
I bet you have the materials to make glowing water in your desk right now. Here's how to make glowing water, which you can use as an ingredient to make other science projects glow in the dark, such as crystals and slime.

Green Fire Jack-o-Lantern
Have you ever wondered what happens when you fill your Halloween jack-o-lantern with green fire? Here's a video of the effect, plus instructions for how to duplicate it yourself.

Mad Scientist Fizzy Potion
Just add baking soda to your favorite beverage, then pour in a little vinegar to get the Mad Scientist effect. If you don't overdo the baking soda and vinegar, the drink will still taste good. This also works with just baking soda and food coloring in water, plus vinegar (tastes terrible).

Mad Scientist Glowing, Smoking, Bubbly Potion
This mad scientist potion bubbles, smokes, and glows in the dark. It's pretty much everything you would want a mad scientist potion to be, except I wouldn't say it tastes especially fantastic. Here's what it looks like and how to make a potion yourself.

Magic Colored Milk
If you add food coloring to milk, not a whole lot happens, but it only takes one simple ingredient to turn the milk into a spinning color wheel. Here is what you do.

Make Slime
Making slime is one of the classic science projects, probably because it is so easy, safe, and reliable. Here is how you do it.
