I'll send you one of my physics class labs. They are not really all that difficult and will guarantee you an A++++ if you have not yet taken physics

there is a really epic one you can do if you have a laser pointer

you shine it into a cup filled with various fluids and measure how much the light refracts.
you basically learn all about the properties of fiber optics and can see cool effects like a laser bouncing around inside a clear cup of water, known as TIR:

Here's an easy one, get a steel bearing ball, a ferromagnet, and something made out of soft magnetizable metal. Put ball on magnet, touch ball with the soft metal, attempt to lift the soft metal off of the ball, watch in awe as the ball sticks to the soft metal instead due to that thing becoming a stronger magnet than the ferromagnet in the presence of a magnetic field. I did this in grade 8 and got an A+.

Or just go hit up a college, seriously they might have liquid nitrogen and a Dewar flask you could borrow to carry it in. From there there's a ridiculous amount of possibilities, just be careful not to generate liquid oxygen. That stuff kind of explodes.

One thing I tried but failed because I was unable to culture the mushroom.
You get a pleurotus ostreatus and culture it's hyphae in a petri dish. Peel the hyphae out of the petri dish and use it to filter oil from water. See how effective it is.
