Experiment 1
What you'll need:battery, 2 wires, light bulb holder with light bulb.
Stick the light bulb to the light bulb holder. Stick the two wires to both sides of the light bulb holder. Stick again the two other end of the wires to the positive and negative side of the battery. As you watch, you will see the light bulb go on. If you let go of the wires on the battery, the light bulb will go off. So you have made a battery switch.

Experiment 2
The hot experiment
What you'll need: a battery and foil.
First you need to cut a strip of foil (6-by-1 cm would be best) then put one end of the strip of foil to the battery and put the other end to the opposite side of the battery. When you hold the battery with the strip on for 20 seconds, the battery becomes very hot.
Experiment 3
The static tester
What you'll need: Silk, clay, paper, straw , pencil and a ruler. Fold the paper in half and while you're at it stick the clay to the rubber end of the pencil. Next, put the clay with the pencil on top of the desk so the pencil will stand. Next, fold the paper in half and balance the middle on the point of the pencil. Then, you rub the straw, pencil and what ever you find in your room with the silk, then put the thing you have close to the piece of paper balanced. then see what happens.
Results: If you used plastic, the paper will move closer to the plastic. If you used metal nothing will happen.
Here are cool machines to watch!
This on is the one I think is the best because everything they use in this machine is from a Honda.
