As I was making the volcano, the clump of change in my pocket fell into soda can (Sprite mind you), and now they're shinier than ever.

Well, since I can't do any more experiments (involving chemicals anyway), I decided to settle on making a classic: A baking soda volcano.
Note to self: Never mix bleach with vinegar (the gases nearly knocked me out).
Well, I mixed some baking soda in some pond water (it finally rained again), and the bacteria just stopped moving.
Glue under the microscope looks as fun as it really is (Just don't eat it).
Under the microscope, toothpaste looks rough (I use Crest), and some parts were glowing with the light.
I wonder why Pine Sol would have bacteria in it.
I looked at some chewing gum (Double Mint unchewed) under the microscope, and it looked both spongy and flexible (along with some bacteria). Chew with caution.
The pistil of a flower looks...really gross under the microscope.
Jeez, even under the microscope, pollen looks itchy.
So, I looked at some hair conditioner under the microscope...I'm surprised that it's crystallized, much like a solid.
Comparing a fresh apple and rotting apple, the rotten has more...fungi, and bacteria, so...make sure to check which apple you're eating.
So, I ground up some magnesium, and looked through the microscope. It still had it's crystalline form (really makes me consider how much I consume).
I had some cream cheese left in the fridge, and despite looking good, a look under the microscope reveals that it's filled with mold.
Mercury looks really beautiful under the microscope. Very shiny due to the light.
So, I went to pool, and collected some water (chlorinated), and put it in some pond water. The bacteria stopped moving instantly. So, you probably won't get sick from the pool (at least not from bacteria).
I looked at some herbs I found in the cabinet, and they...look like plants under the microscope. It's strange that they still looked fully formed instead of chopped up.
So, I found some oregano oil and mixed it with some pond water from my neighbor's yard (I had permission), and it instantly stopped all bacterial activity. Remarkable.
I squeezed out some disinfectant wipes and dropped them into some pond water I had left. Most of the bacteria stopped moving. So, wipes are relatively effective but not perfect.
I found some old apple cider vinegar, and looked through the microscope. Lots of bacteria, and I think...yeast?
