    My favorite science experiment has to be the one I presented in 5th grade: the ol' Lemon Battery trick. Insert a copper penny into a lemon so that half of the penny remains exposed. Approximately 1/2" away from the penny insert a galvanized (zinc-coated) nail into the lemon so that about 1/4" of the nail remains exposed. Wearing a pair of headphones, touch the headphones' jack to both the exposed nail and penny at the same time. BAM! You should be able to hear static in the headphones. How is this possible?!? The citric acid of the lemon acts as an energy source that is able to send a slight electrical charge through the copper penny and the zinc nail, which are acting as conductors. It's not magic — it's science.

    Sure, it's not much of a science experiment, but it was pretty awesome back in 5th grade and remains the only science experiment I've ever actually conducted. Here's a variation of the experiment: http://hilaroad.com/camp/projects/lemon/lemon_bat…

    Please give me We Are Scientists tickets. They're one of my favorite bands.

    Well, here it goes! My favorite was experiment is one I did in Chemistry class in high school. It was right before our Christmas break, so my teacher thought it would be fun to make peanut brittle in the lab. It was a lot of fun to make food in a chemistry lab, be able to eat it in class, and not have any tedious calculations afterward! We were partnered up and started the procedure (2 links are below that delve into the experiment). My partner and I were in the zone for this project. Our goal: to make the most delicious peanut brittle this chemistry lab had ever seen! We followed every step making sure our goal was not to be tampered with. Once everything had been mixed, heated, etc, it was ready to be set out to cool. Partner and I had to pour it onto aluminum foil and then cover it with more foil. Now, the mixture did look a little sketchy, but we thought it just needed to sit and cool and then everything would be fine. After 10 minutes of salivating in anticipation of the great cooking we had just accomplished, we unwrapped the peanut brittle only to find a lime green mess of goo. Heartbreak. We thought we had completely dominated the experiment. Sadly, we were not able to eat the green goo, but it makes for an amusing experience in high school Chemistry. As for the good news, some of our classmates saw our disappointment and offered some of their edible brittle to us. So it wasn't a total loss!

    my favorite science experiment was building a Rube Goldberg machine in high school. the goal was to create a reaction that lasted at 30 seconds to do a mundane thing. our choice was to crack an egg into a frying pan. it started with a candle being lit and that slowly burning a paper towel holding a weight connected to a pulley. when the pulley tilted that gave way to the next to movement. and on and on. lots of ball bearings were involved.

    it was impressive. it took just under 30 seconds, like 29.something seconds and we received good marks on the project. this was back in mrs .kramer's chemistry class my junior year of high school.

    thank you for the contest.

    My favorite science experiment was when we made ice cream in Chemistry class in high school… why? because we got to eat it at the end!

    Psssst… I'd love the tickets! This will be my first time seeing We Are Scientists after years of wishing and waiting.

    My favorite one was building a contraption out of materials around the house that would prevent an egg from breaking after being dropped from the roof of the school. Everyone had some great ideas, okay, great ideas for the third or fourth grade, and I swore that my device would succeed. I used rubber bands to keep the egg suspended inside of this cube that I made out of paper and popsicle sticks or something. It didn't work. I don't think anybody's worked. Still, it was fun to be up on the roof throwing eggs on the ground.

    My favorite science experiment involved pennies in High School. We converted three pennies; one to "gold", one to silver, and we removed the zinc in one leaving just the outer copper shell. It was pretty simple, but it was cool to show people the pennies.
    Thanks,
    Geoff

    My favorite science experiment in Elementary school was to create a volcano out of paper mache and use baking soda and vinegar to create an eruption — and huge mess! LOL Thank you, Kevin

    I won't be able to make it to the show anymore. I remove myself from the contest, but thank you for having it!
