Post all your chemistry based things here. Try to keep it as simple as possible in terms of acquiring the materials.
To start this off, we're gonna be making Copper Sulfate (Sulphate)
Materials:
Microwave safe container
Pennies (I am using 5)
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)
White Vinegar (Acetic Acid)
This is a very simple procedure and measurements really aren't needed so read through this and just go.
First take your H2O2 and put it in your microwave safe container.
Next add your Acetic Acid into the mix (Remember, always add acid to water, just like the ABC's, ATW, Acid To Water)
Now shake the mixture up and put it in the microwave for about 40 seconds.
Once it's been heated up, add the 5 pennies in and you should see small bubbles start to form and in a few seconds they should start letting out a ton of bubbles.
After about 4 hours the reaction should be done and you can take the pennies out of the solution, do NOT use your bare hands as Copper Sulfate has the potential to burn you.
You will notice that the penny is COVERED in black, this is copper oxide.
From here you could use the Copper Sulfate as is (Copper Sulfate Dilute) or concentrate it by letting it evaporate and form crystals.
THIS ISNT MINE, i copied it from my friend connection on Evilzone.org, another awesome forum. http://evilzone.org/index.php?topic=2025.0 <--- link to the original topic.
1. Fill a container about 2/3 full with water
2. Add copper sulfate crystals.
3. Find a piece of zinc and a piece of copper, attach a wire to each.
4. Attach a light bulb, LED, or voltmeter.
Homemade battery! (This was my science fair project in 5th grade)
If you don't have copper sulfate, try lemon juice.
Step 1: Grab a bowl, Ammonia, Bleach, and a straw
Step 2: Put the ammonia in the bowl and mix thoroughly with the bleach
Step 3: Take the straw and blow bubbles in the mixture
Step 4: Collect giant rainbow crystals

There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary.
Those who do.
And those that don't.

Rain, rain, go away,
THAT'S WHAT ALL THE HATERS SAY.
*waits for someone to discuss building a bomb with a yield great enough to destroy a brick wall*
Well...
1) Take a cup/bowl/other container of Hydrogen Peroxide.
2) Toss some Tang power into it. The more the better.
3) Pass some electricity through it.
4a) Run really really really fast and far away.
4b) Have EMS nearby.
5) Commence enjoying explosion and fire and other dangerous fun things.

Have fun and post cool things you know of.
Update:
Here's some pictures of the copper sulfate dilute and the pennies after the reaction:

Update: Here is the solution all evap'd out. All that's left is to scrape up the crystals and store them.

I don't think many people are going to have much to add to this but I guess you never know I suppose.
