      I love doing the volcano experiment where you mix vinegar and baking soda! At work I really find the eye-tracking study really interesting and fun to do!

      My number one experiment uses hot pink sand to track how much animals dig into the ground. We put a layer of neon sand on top of black sand and track how much pink sand gets buried. This showed us how parasites can make their hosts dig more, especially when it’s hot out!

      The Grignard reaction.It is a very important reaction for forming Carbon-Carbon bonds.

      Doing groundwater tracing: we add a really bright neon dye to springs and streams (it’s entirely harmless and tasteless!) and then going to springs and other locations to see if it reappears, and to see how long it takes to do so.
