🧪 1. Magic Pepper & Soap Trick
What you need:
- A bowl of water
- Black pepper
- Liquid dish soap
What to do:
Sprinkle pepper on the surface of the water. Now dip your finger in dish soap and touch the water. Watch the pepper scatter away instantly!
Why it works:
Soap breaks the surface tension of water. The pepper runs away from the soap!
🥚 2. Bouncy Egg
What you need:
- 1 raw egg
- Vinegar
- A jar
What to do:
Place the egg in the jar and cover it with vinegar. Let it sit for 2–3 days. Take it out and bounce it gently!
Why it works:
The vinegar dissolves the eggshell, leaving behind a soft, bouncy membrane.
🌈 3. Rainbow in a Glass
What you need:
- Water
- Sugar
- Food coloring
- 4 glasses
- A spoon
What to do:
Mix different amounts of sugar into colored water in separate glasses (e.g., 1 spoon in first, 2 in second, and so on). Layer them carefully using a spoon into a single glass to create a rainbow.
Why it works:
Denser (sugarier) water stays at the bottom. Lighter water floats – like magic!

🍋 4. Lemon Volcano
What you need:
- A lemon
- Baking soda
- Food coloring (optional)
- A spoon
What to do:
Cut the top of a lemon. Squeeze it a little and add baking soda inside. It will start to fizz like a mini volcano!
Why it works:
The citric acid in lemon reacts with baking soda to release carbon dioxide – fizzing fun!
🎈 5. Inflate a Balloon Without Blowing]
What you need:
- A balloon
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
- A bottle
What to do:
Pour vinegar into the bottle. Add baking soda into the balloon using a funnel. Stretch the balloon over the bottle’s mouth and let the baking soda fall in. Watch the balloon inflate!
Why it works:
The acid-base reaction creates gas (CO₂) that fills up the balloon.
🧼 6. Soap-Powered Boat
What you need:
- A shallow plate with water
- A paper boat (cut from a card)
- Liquid soap
What to do:
Place the boat on water. Now add a drop of soap at the back. Zoom! It moves!
Why it works:
Soap reduces surface tension, pushing the boat forward.
