How about making a crystal radio using a Gillette Blue Blade and a pencil lead for the crystal detector.

I watched it in the in the early 50's. Called "Watch Mr. Wizard", Don Herbert.
Yes kids, 30 years before Nickelodian.

There's a fair chance I might not have a degree in a hard science today if not for this man.

I fell in love with The Outfield because of Nick Hits
Snooj
He was the inspiration for "We're gonna need another Timmy!"

I got his autograph in his home experiment book. I wonder if it's still at my mom's house or not, got a lot of use out of it
UncleRat
I watched it in the early 1960s. It was originally called Watch Mr. Wizard.
alcamar
One of a few reasons i enjoy science so much.

Yes, I even remember the experiment they're doing. They put an old fashioned rotating alarm siren in a vacuum to show that you couldn't hear it when there was no air inside the jar.

There are other shapes besides circles that you can affix an axle to and it rolls just as smooth. I remember seeing that episode as a kid and being flabbergasted.

Sometimes he was so mean to the kids when they messed up. A great show, but I would not like to be a kid making mistakes on there.
WoopDeFrickenDoo
no he wasn't. Was he? I don't remember him being mean, I thought he was the greatest, right after inspector gadget.
Exyr
He wasn't mean he just wasn't happy. It was that grandfather's disappointment.
