        Hey Aleximo- you can do great experiments at home and in ht kitchen. Have you tried any light experiments? This year is the international year of light. You can start of just by putting a straw inside water. Water makes light bend and it makes a straight straw look bent.
        You could also try putting raisins in lemonade. The lemonade catches in all the wrinkles of the raisin, and push the raisin up to the top of the glass. Then they pop, the gas comes out and the raisin sinks.
        you can extract the DNA from strawberries too! (you need something called IPA, an alcohol). Look that one up online (go here: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/strawberry-dna)
        You can also do cool tricks bending light using pyrex (glass) and oil. Pyrex and oil bend light by the same amount, so when you put glass into oil (just vegetable oil) the glass vanishes.

        Have you ever made a volcano?
