Elephant Toothpaste (Mad Scientist Experiment)

While this is not actual elephant toothpaste, it looks like it could be.  It is actually a mad scientist creation that would be fun for kids that is made with yeast and 6% solution of hydrogen peroxide (from a beauty supply store) and a little dish soap and food coloring.

How Glowsticks Are Made

If you have a bit of mad scientist in you the above geeky cool video on the science behind making glow sticks will pique your interest. They show you what chemicals are used and how the different colors are made.

Pizza Pi Cutter

I have always liked punny things, so of course I have to put this on my wish list.

Think Geek currently is having a sale on these geeky cool "Pizza Pi" pizza cutters that would be a great gift for science or math enthusiast or a clever conversation piece if serving homemade or store bought pizza.   They are on sale here  and the black one $17.99 and the lime and red ones for $9.99 (which seems odd that the black one is nearly double in price - if you have your heart set on black I would buy one of the others, cover the wheels with masking tape then spray paint it black).

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Think Geek and received nothing for this post - I just think this is cool.
