Gallium Spoon Chemistry Experiment

Disappearing Spoon https://www.physicsfunshop.com/search?keywords=disappearing The metal gallium has a melting point of 30°C (86°F) and will melt quickly when exposed to tea temperature hot water- or melt in one’s hand if handled too long. This spoon was made with a silicone mold (swipe to see process), and feels and sounds just like a regular spoon, except solid gallium is brittle and the spoon can shatter like glass if dropped. An amazing parlor trick as well as a classic and historical class

You'll Need: Sugar Food coloring Hot water Baking soda Instructions: Make six small piles of sugar on a plate. Add a different drop of food coloring to each pile. Mix a spoonful of sugar and a pinch of baking soda into hot water until clear. Pour the water into the center of the plate and watch the towers rise. How It Works: Capillary action pulls the liquid up through the sugar while the reaction creates structural growth. #scienceexperiment #rainbow #kidsactivities #magic | Easy Recipes
