Have you ever wondered why silver jewelry that starts out nice and shiny turns brownish-black and dull over time? The brownish-black stuff is called silver tarnish, and it is the result of a chemical reaction on the silver's surface. In this video, we show you how you can use electrochemistry to create or remove silver tarnish from silver objects. You can use these methods to give your jewelry a vintage look or if you want to make it nice and shiny again. Written instructions are available on…
Did you know that you can curl certain metals by just heating them up? In this fun science activity, you will find out how it works and why it matters how different metals respond to heat.

This video shows you how to make a homopolar motor, a simple motor made from a battery, magnet, and copper wire. This is a fun simple science experiment or demonstration, that you can turn into a science fair project by measuring the rotation speed of the motor if you change a variable (like the size of the magnet or the shape of the wire coil). Written instructions are available on the Science Buddies…
