Chemistry Christmas Ornaments and Labs

 It’s almost December!  Let the Christmas labs begin!  Make Borax Crystals with pipe cleaners.  Glitter pipe cleaners do not work as well as plain pipe cleaners.  Silver Holiday Ornaments is both tricky and pricey.  If you have your heart set on silvering glass ornaments, HST sells the chemicals needed for the lab.  Cheaper choices include Milk Plastic Ornaments, Stained Glass Glue Ornaments, Christmas Bulb Chromatography Ornaments, and Paper Atom Snowflakes.  The Poinsettia pH Indicator lab extracts the anthocyanin pigments to use as an indicator.  I plan to do Benzoic Acid Blizzard in a Bottle in December.  You can use the benzoic acid to make Snow globes.  Just hot glue a small object to the lid of a baby food jar.  One more quick idea from the HomeSchool Scientist, Fake Snow Experiments.  You’re welcome!
