Party games also Use Science

Some Science experiments are so much fun that we can also disguise them as party games. Don’t believe me? Here are a couple of examples. Have you ever challenged a person to pick up an ice cube out of his glass without touching it with his hands or using a spoon or fork? If you have not, you can try it out now.

The trick is to carry a piece of string and use the salt shaker on the dining table. When the ice cube is floating in the glass place the string on top of it and then sprinkle some salt on it. This will make the ice melt and then refreeze over the string. Now gently lift the string and the ice cube will come right out with it!

If you enjoyed that, try asking them to open a bottle of beer without a bottle opener. There is more than one way to get that bottle open and using a door stopper is just one of them. Or how about asking them to balance two forks on a glass edge using a coin? This one works on the principle of shifting the center of gravity. Check out more fun science experiments here.
