.Safety first
1. Work microscale (small materials,  small amount of substances).    2. Work in a trayALWAYS use it.   3. ampoules Label first fill later
4. Syringes only from a pharmacy.  5.  Even a candle burner must be used inside a tray.   6. Bind long hairs together.    7. Extinguish burners immediately after use.  8. Wear googles for chemical experiments.      9.  Carefully wash your hands after experimentation.     10. Do not eat during experimentation.

Experiments for Kindergarten
1. Water becomes solid......... 2. Ice becomes liquid..........3. Ice formed from air........  4..Ice escapes into the air...
5..Water vapour and water from Cola.........6. Counting drops from a syringe..........     7. Weighing water drops.
8. Crystals disappear in water.....................9. Crystals re-appear from water.

Experiments for kids around 10
1. Water: Ice, liquid, vapour

W01 Water covers two third of the earth´s surface  - From ice berg to micro drop
W02  Not only water can be divided into smaller and smaller quantities: Fom litre(l) to millilitre (ml)
W03  Soap reduces surface tension of water
W04  Volume change during solidification of water and of Cola
W05  Micro spirit burner: Assembling , burning and safe extinguishing
W06  "Steam engine" - Increase of volume during boiling of water
W07  "Fountain" or implosion - Decrease of volume during condensation of water vapour
W08  Water has a mass - Learn how to handle a two pan scale, make weights
W09  Density of three liquids
W10  Comparing water samples by electricity.
 
2. Water: Separating and mixing
W11  Evaporation of water from different water samples
W12  Evaporation, condensation, collecting  - Distillation of coloured fresh water
W13  Water content of a plant and an animal
W14  Water dissolves only few water
W15  Salt, sugar, citric acid - can you make them invisble?
W16  Salt, sugar, citric acid - can you make them visible again?
W17  Rock candy from sugar powder
W18  Extracting dye from blue petunia petals

3. Waters as habitats
W19  Flowing water, an interesting habitat - Turn stones in Lauter river
W20  Water butt as habitat - Bread mosquitos
W21  Sea water biggest habitat of the world - Cultivating brine shrimps

4. Chemical reactions: Analysis and synthesis
W22  Drop electrolysis - 4 new substances by decomposition of water
W23  Pipette electrolysis - Oxyhydrogen gas production and explosion
W24  Ampoule electrolysis - Oxygen and hydrogen
W25  About water molecules and hydrogen atoms
