the best one I ever saw was when my physical science teacher took some hydrochloric acid, some bakeing soda, and some lithmus paper. *the following explanation is for scientific purposes only. do not try this at home! .. theres a lot at stake if you get it wrong*he dropped a roofing nail into the acid and let us watch it disolve to prove it was acid, then he mixed the bakeing soda with the hydrochloric acid until the lithmus paper said it was PH neutral, then proceded to use it as a mouth rinse to show that while you wouldnt want to “drink it” it was chemically inert and contact with human tissue wouldnt harm you.

do you have an electrical outlet on its own breaker, two copper wires with insulation, and a pickle?

the pickle actually conducts electricity, or glows or something wierd like that

if nothing else, the liquid nitrogen and the rubber ball were always good for effect

I suppose it could be.. but its because of the acetic acid in the pickle reacting to the electricity that makes it glow.. I thought it was neat.

if you want to add an interesting twist to it, I think this is the same formula used in a beaker to inflate a baloon (it doesnt blow it up all the way but its fun to see)

in my college chemistry lab, we electrocuted a pickle, and then analyzed something about it. i don’t remember the details though. in the end, it didn’t work - and i remember why! (the pickle was electrocuted, but the results weren’t as expected)

we twisted some tissue with our hands to connect the pieces, but didn’t account for the fact that the sweat from our hands rubbed off onto the tissue when we twisted it, and the NaCl interacted with the rest of the experiment and made the results innacurate. kinda cool. sorry for the vagueness, but if you find a reference to this, it was pretty cool to do. intro chem, first semester.

We did the flaming jelly baby experiment in College. Where you heat some chemicals up (a hypochlorate mixture) and drop the jelly baby in the test tube. The sugars in the jelly baby are reduced in a pretty violent reaction which burns the jelly baby and makes it glow.
