In this article, we'll provide a comprehensive guide to using the kit and conducting each experiment.
What's in the Kit?
Before we get started, let's take a quick look at what's included in the Scientific Explorer Magic Science For Wizards Only Kit:
- 4 test tubes and a stand
- A wizard wand
- A mixing bowl
- A measuring scoop
- Citric acid
- Baking soda
- Colored dyes
- 12-page activity guide
Now that we know what's in the kit, let's get started with the experiments!
Experiment #1: Wizard's Brew
In this experiment, we'll create a bubbling, fizzing potion using baking soda and citric acid. Here's how:
- Fill one of the test tubes halfway with water.
- Add one scoop of baking soda and stir until it dissolves.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the mixture and stir.
- Fill another test tube halfway with water.
- Add one scoop of citric acid and stir until it dissolves.
- Add the citric acid mixture to the baking soda mixture and watch the bubbling and fizzing magic happen!
Experiment #2: Hocus Pocus Powder
In this experiment, we'll create a colorful powder that changes color depending on the pH of the liquid it's added to. Here's how:
- Mix together two scoops of baking soda and one scoop of citric acid in the mixing bowl.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the mixture and stir.
- Sprinkle the powder onto a plate.
- Add a few drops of liquid (such as vinegar or lemon juice) to the powder and watch it change color!
Experiment #3: Fizzy Frenzy
This experiment is similar to Wizard's Brew, but we'll be using a different liquid to create the fizzing reaction. Here's how:
- Fill one of the test tubes halfway with vinegar.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the vinegar and stir.
- Fill another test tube halfway with water.
- Add one scoop of baking soda to the water.
- Pour the vinegar mixture into the test tube with the baking soda and watch the fizzy reaction!
Experiment #4: Frothing Color-Changing Potion
In this experiment, we'll use the citric acid and baking soda mixture to create a frothing, color-changing potion. Here's how:
- Fill one of the test tubes halfway with water.
- Add one scoop of baking soda to the water and stir until it dissolves.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the mixture and stir.
- Fill another test tube halfway with water.
- Add one scoop of citric acid to the water and stir until it dissolves.
- Pour the citric acid mixture into the test tube with the baking soda and watch the frothing, color-changing magic happen!
Experiment #5: Test Tube Crystal Ball
In this experiment, we'll create a crystal ball using epsom salt and water. Here's how:
- Fill one of the test tubes with warm water.
- Stir in one scoop of epsom salt until it dissolves.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the mixture and stir.
- Let the mixture cool and then pour it into a clean test tube.
- Place the test tube in the stand and let it sit for a few days to allow the crystals to grow.
- Once the crystals have grown, you have your very own test tube crystal ball!
Experiment #6: Color-Changing Lava Lamp
In this experiment, we'll create a colorful lava lamp using oil, water, and food coloring. Here's how:
- Fill one of the test tubes halfway with oil.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the oil and stir.
- Fill the rest of the test tube with water.
- Add a few more drops of colored dye to the water and stir.
- Add an effervescent tablet (such as Alka-Seltzer) to the mixture and watch the color-changing lava lamp magic happen!
Experiment #7: Magic Wand Chemistry
In this experiment, we'll use a magic wand (included in the kit) to create a colorful reaction. Here's how:
- Fill one of the test tubes halfway with warm water.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the water and stir.
- Add one scoop of baking soda to the water and stir.
- Hold the magic wand over the test tube and slowly pour in vinegar.
- Watch the colorful reaction happen as the magic wand releases the vinegar into the mixture!
Experiment #8: Colorful Crystal Garden
In this experiment, we'll create a colorful crystal garden using salt and food coloring. Here's how:
- Dampen the surface of the paper included in the kit.
- Arrange the cardboard trees on the paper and sprinkle salt over them.
- Add a few drops of colored dye to the salt and let it sit for a few hours.
- As the salt dries, it will form colorful crystals that grow around the trees, creating a beautiful crystal garden!
Experiment #9: Acid/Base Test
In this experiment, we'll use litmus paper to test whether a substance is an acid or a base. Here's how:
- Dip a piece of litmus paper into a substance you want to test (such as vinegar or baking soda).
- The litmus paper will turn red if the substance is acidic or blue if it is basic.
Experiment #10: Color-Changing Paper
In this experiment, we'll create paper that changes color depending on the pH of a liquid. Here's how:
- Put a few drops of colored dye onto a piece of white paper.
- Using a cotton swab, apply a small amount of baking soda dissolved in water to one section of the paper and a small amount of vinegar to another section.
- The section with baking soda will turn the colored dye blue, while the section with vinegar will turn it pink!
