RatLab
Hey  kids, are you the type who bristles when someone on TV says, "Don't try this at home" because you feel like, uh...trying stuff at home? Well don't let your contrarian impulses get the best of you by taking a pass on a site that's designed to bring chemical reactions into your life. Ratlab provides the recipes and steps for such fiendish experiments as turning pennies different colors (Coke, lemon juice, and ketchup required), making giant bubbles (you'll need a coat hanger and pipe cleaners), and making a mini-rocket (Alka Seltzer tablet not included). Each experiment also comes with a "Why does it work?" section, explaining the science behind the process. The "Strange but true" page answers such questions as "Why does spaghetti always snap into three pieces when you break it?" (It does?) So go ahead, get to work. Before your parents get home.
