Experiment

Want to have a trick for Halloween?  Well, you can pick this experiment.  You need:  a piece of paper, candlesticks, sunscreen, cotton balls (optional), some red stocking, scissors, someone to watch you like a big Halloween group and last, but not least a table. 
Step one:  put the paper on the table
Step two:  put the red stocking on the paper
Step three:  put the cotton ball on the paper, remember to wet the cotton ball with special water.
Step four:  use the cotton ball to write a message like "Happy Halloween" or "wow"  -- did it work?
Step five:  trim paper to size and show this to your Halloween group
Step six:  rub the candlestick(s) on the paper, but make sure your group does not see this step
Step seven:  put your hand on the piece of  paper - this time your audience can see - does it show your hand outline?
How does it work?When  you  press the water[ see Simple experiments} it goes on to the red stocking and it
turns into the same color of the stocking.The red liquid doesn't stay on the paper forever.Why? Like most liquids like milk it washes away. Also some liquid contains a special so it can wash away.

Pocahontas (c.1595 – March 21, 1617) was a Virginia Indian chief's daughter notable for having assisted colonial settlers at Jamestown in present-day Virginia. She converted to Christianity and married the English settler John Rolfe. After they traveled to London, she became famous in the last year of her life. She was a daughter of Wahunsunacawh, better known as Chief or Emperor Powhatan (to indicate his primacy), who headed a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tidewater region of Virginia (called Tenakomakah by the Powhatan). These tribes made up what is known as the Powhatan Chiefdom and were part of the Algonquian language family

Simple science experiments

Goldenrod paper looks like it is bleeding when exposed to basic


The term goldenrod is typically used to describe a color of paper - golden yellow. Certain brands of goldenrod paper contain a special dye that turns bright red in solutions that are basic like ammonia water or washing soda. The paper turns back yellow with an acid like vinegar or lemon juice. Learn how to use this special color-changing paper to develop a hidden message.

Looking for an amazing experiment to wow party-goers and students this Halloween? Goldenrod Paper is the answer! With a little "magic water" and some spooky sound effects, you can turn your regular Goldenrod Paper into dripping, bleeding paper... complete with your own hand print marked in "blood." It's a great acids/bases lesson for the Halloween season.

Materials

Goldenrod paper

Cotton balls

Ammonia-water solution (household ammonia from the grocery store)

Safety glasses

Candle

Experiment Video Related Experiments Reviews Place a piece of goldenrod paper on the table. Make sure that table is clean and the work surface is dry.

Place a drop of water on one of the corners of the paper. Does anything happen?

Fill a jar with a small amount of ammonia water. Dip a cotton ball in the ammonia water and wipe it across the top portion of the goldenrod paper. Save the bottom half of the paper for step 5. Does anything happen?

As you continue to wipe designs on the goldenrod paper, notice that the paper does not stay red forever. What is causing the paper to change back to yellow?

Use the old piece of wax candle to write a secret message (such as “Hi!” or “WOW”) across the bottom half of the paper.

Wipe the cotton ball with ammonia water across the secret message to see what develops.

Use Goldenrod Paper for an amazing Halloween experiment - Bleeding Paper

Place a piece of Goldenrod Paper on a clean, dry surface.

Away from the paper, spray your hand with "magic water" (the ammonia-water solution).

Tell your audience that when you touch the paper you can make it bleed.

Gently slap your hand down on the Goldenrod Paper... oh no! It's a bleeding hand print!

Your audience won't believe their eyes when you hold up the Goldenrod Paper, dripping with your "bloody" hand print. It's the perfect Halloween experiment.

How does it work?

The ammonia on the cotton ball is a base and causes the dye in the special goldenrod paper to change color. You probably noticed that the red color fades over time and the paper eventually changes back to its original yellow color. Why? The carbon dioxide gas that is in the air we breathe is slightly on the acidic side of the pH scale. The carbon dioxide reacts with the ammonia on the paper to produce ammonium carbonate, which changes the pH of the paper to neutral (roughly a pH of 7) and the dye changes back yellow. If you use a stronger base like washing soda, the red message will not disappear with just the carbon dioxide in the air. You will need to use a stronger acid like lemon juice or vinegar to change it from red to yellow. You can also use goldenrod paper as inexpensive pH paper to classify safe household products as being either acidic or basic
