how about electrolysis of water demonstration to show how to produce hydrogen gas (relevant to hydrogen fuel technology).

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.

ecoli had great ideas.
1. Something (extremely basic) would be making natural acid-base indicators.
2. Preparing inorganic pigments.
3. pH of salts (explainig the hydrolysis of salts proccess).

Our voting system is broken! It nearly guarantees that we will have only two political parties that have any chance of winning, and that they will be very similar.

How about studying how much friction is created across and inside various parts of the body during intercourse?

It's certainly hard to top that, but how about something small-scale with radioluminescence?

Well, I've always enjoyed empiricism. I'm willing to do 4 or 5 tests per day if that's what it takes. Can we use multiple participants as well? :D

it is a cool reaction, and one I plan on doing myself eventually also, I have everything here except the Malonic acid, I went to order some a little while ago and got 500g of Malic acid instead:embarass:
I should have waited until I`d had my morning coffee before ordering:doh:

The old "Nylon Rope Trick" isn't a bad demo. You pour in your diamine thingy and add your sebacoyl chloride as a second layer - dip your rod in (phenar phenar) and pull out the rope from the interface between the two liquids as they polimerise. Can be difficault to get right and sometimes needs a little practice, but demonstrates polymerisation quite well. Nylon is something everyone knows about as well.
