Sherbet
Here at Scope we're big fans of two very important science experiment ingredients: vinegar and bicarbonate soda. We've used it to launched rockets, blown up balloons and we've even made a speed boat, but did you know you can make edible sherbet? Well Julia has all the ingredients to show you how.
Underwater Volcano
Did you know that volcanos not only occur on land but underwater the water as well? Currently there are over 5000 active volcanoes underwater and today Julia will show you how to make your very own with a few things from around the house.
Fruit Battery
Batteries come in a variety of shapes and sizes but have you ever seen one in the shape of a lemon? Mit our junior scientist from the Australian Science & Maths School will demonstrate how different fruits can produce enough energy to power a light.
Pendulum
