Just put a dish of marshmallows or chocolate chips in the microwave, and then follow the instructions at Orbiting Frog or Kitchen Science Experiments.

    Clever, but the stated frequencies on the microwaves are not very accurate. It's a very good experiment for a child in their preteens, but not good for much more than that.
