Experiments we did included cabbage juice pH indicator (use plastic test tubes and pipettes to really look authentic), Coke/mentos fountain (diet works best), baking soda and vinegar reaction “lava” cake, and gum drop and toothpick “molecules.” We also did film canister rockets, but I’m not sure what you use in place of film canisters these days. You could find them even 10 years ago, but I’m not sure if you could now. I found that safety goggles/glasses were inexpensive and great party favors along with a test tube and pipette.
