What Are Simple Home Experiments to Understand Molecular Behavior?

AI Thread Summary
Simple home experiments to understand molecular behavior can include observing the effects of temperature on the solubility of sugar in water, demonstrating diffusion with food coloring in water, or creating a homemade lava lamp using oil, water, and food coloring. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using accessible materials and equipment for high school-level projects. Participants suggest focusing on molecular structure, behavior, and interactions to enhance understanding. The thread encourages sharing ideas and resources for effective experiments. Overall, practical experiments can significantly aid in grasping molecular concepts.

First of all, sorry if I put this in the wrong board.

Now, I have to do as much expreriments (for a school project) that would help to prove any information about molecules, that is very important to me, so if you know any experiments that would fit, then could you please write in here, or either PM me, since I think that this thread will be closed as worthless... :smile: Anyways, thanks in advance.

Welcome to PF Espresso! Anything that is homework or coursework related it welcome in this board.

First of all, what level of equipment do you have available to you? What level are you working at?

Secondly, do you have anything specific you would like to know 'about' molecules? Do you want to know about their structure? Or how they behave?
 
Well, I should actually do it at home, since it is a project, so it's mainly home equipment, but I am still able to get into the lab :p

And my level, well high school, though I am not from America (Lithuania) anyways, as for molecules, then their stucture, and the way they behave yes :) Also their interaction if that is the right word. Well anything is appreciated :)

And thank you
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
