Teacher Demo/Student Activity: Disappearing Beaker


This demonstration will amaze and astound! As you pour vegetable oil into a small Pyrex beaker placed inside a larger Pyrex beaker, the smaller beaker will magically disappear! This happens because Pyrex and the oil have a similar index of refraction.  The straw and water in this image, however, don’t. This activity can be a teacher demo or a student activity.
