Overview of all the guides in the wiki book of science show.

Caution

These are only guides and can contain both errors and omissions.

Always make experiments in small versions before proceeding to larger quantities where things could become dangerous.

Ask around if you have any doubts before starting. Do not attempt to perform an experiment you do not feel you understand and is qualified to perform -some of the experiments described here contain dangerous materials and the dangers can be subtle.

Prepare yourself before starting and exercise due care! It is not fun science if it is dangerous and chaotically performed.

Guides

The table below lists all the guides alfabetically, together with:

  • The status of the guide (fairly complete , Some omissions , Safety info ok , Still sketchy )
  • How harmless or dangerous it is
  • The level of equipment and practice thats required (household, specialized lab...)
  • An overview of the subjects the experiment relates to.

Subjects

There are pages with more info about the different subjects.

Adding new guides to the list

All guides are based on the template for new guides.

The page for the guide must be named Scienceshow/Guides/Title and added to this list in Scienceshow/Guides.
