You can have your own set of experiments in the kitchen. I know that I can cook potatoes faster if I mix them with some aborigines. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know why, but something about the two vegetables being cooked together tends to speed up the cooking time needed.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few ideas that you can try out. \u00c2\u00a0Does adding salt to water make it boil faster than the plain water? Try boiling water in two pans and add a spoonful of salt to one of them. Now time them both as the water comes to a boil and check which one boiled faster.<\/p>\n<p>You can even use some fruit in the kitchen to generate electricity. Get some alligator clips and hook them up to copper and zinc electrodes. Add a miniature light bulb to complete the circuit and you will have a bright science project. Use different types of citrus fruits to see which ones generate the power longest.<\/p>\n<p>There is no dearth of experiments for you to perform in the kitchen. And why restrict yourself to science experiments in the kitchen alone? You can get any number of <a href=\"http:\/\/hubpages.com\/hub\/ScienceFairExperiments_16_FunAirplanes\">fun projects<\/a> to do here.
