Do ants produce acid when antagonised?
Make your own indicator paper and try this. Some stinging insects spray formic acid into the air when threatened. Find an anthill, step on it lightly to disturb the ants, without getting stung place a piece of indicator paper over the ants.

How do Increased CO2 Levels Affect Plant Growth?
The problem with increased CO2 is its affect on global warming. CO2 is not a pollutant but it does trap infrared heat from radiating back into space. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect. This global warming then affects global ecosystems by having effects on water vapor and other climate features. If CO2 levels continue to rise, the results to the planet are difficult to gauge. Som

Examine how much Carbon Dioxide is produced by different gas sources? This helps us understand the impact of these gas sources on global warming.
The purposes of this experiment is to compare the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) produced by four different sources of gases.

What is fermentation technology and how can this be demonstrated with yeast?
The purpose of this experiment is to observe the results of cellular respiration of yeasts, using grape sugar as a substrate and yielding carbon dioxide and ethanol.

Do different methods of cooking potatos produce a different taste?
To compare different heating methods for rate of cooking and for impact on final product quality. This will be accomplished by cooking potatoes and carrots for varied times with varied heating procedures.

Do different brands of popcorn leave different amounts of unpopped kernels?
Do different brands of popcorn leave different amounts of unpopped kernels?

What is baking powder and what is it used for?
Many recipes call simply for baking soda rather than baking powder. Usually these recipes use some kind of liquid acid like buttermilk or yogurt to react with the baking soda to produce the bubbles.

How does heat affect the coagulation of eggs?
To determine the influence of heat on thermal coagulation of egg proteins. This will be accomplished by preparing custards with varied heating conditions and egg protein.

How to make a rocket using common cooking ingredients
Use baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction which launches a rocket (a film canister) sky high.

Do different gases expand differently when heated?
The purpose of this experiment was to compare the amount of heat expansion in various gases. The information gained from this experiment will determine what temperature you need to keep your balloons at so that it can have more volume.
