+===== Projects I was interested in ====
+  * [[project:presentationcenter:start|Presentation center]]
+  * [[project:biolab:start|Biolab]] – I might learn something about those green or moving things.
+===== Other stuff I sometimes did =====
+  * Trying demo experiments I know from the internet.
+===== Demos =====
+These are small (well known) experiments often done in school that I either tried or want to try.
+==== Tried ====
+  * Sugar in sulphuric acid – sugar loses water, turns black (to carbon).
+  * Potassium permanganate and glycerol – self ignites, starts burning.
+  * Cotton wool and superglue – this is supposed to start burning. Nothing happened. Will retry.
+  * Liquid nitrogen fun.
+  * Whoosh rocket – plastic bottle with alcohol vapor used as rocket – tried with acetone with mixed results.
+==== Planned ====
+  * A lot of stuff from [[http://ilovechemistry.info/pokusy/]] (thermite, methanol vs. ethanol in boric acid, elephant's toothpaste, …)
+  * Mentos and diet coke – old, I know.
+  * Granular Maxwell's daemon
+  * Homopolar motor
+  * Non-newtonian fluid – it was done in brmlab before.
+  * Supercooling liquids
+  * Microwave plasma
+  * Glowing pickle
+  * Slime – polyvynilacetate (glue) or polyvynilalcohol (better, but might be more expensive and not worth) mixed with borax (and water).
+  * More…
