Suggestions/thoughts on food science presentation for a 7th grade student

I have a 12-yr old who wants to do her science class presentation using food science. We cook together often (yay - Dad time!) and she is super-excited about what we learn together here on Chefsteps. We have a few ideas of our own on what to do - but I thought I'd ask for others suggestions?

I have suggested to her that she do 2 - 4 demo's and ask other students to participate etc - that way it's a somewhat dynamic presentation.

So far she's going to: demonstrate the law of density by layering liquids ala some of the molecular cocktails (no alcohol, of course), she is dying to do some spherefication, where we go after this - I'm not so sure - perhaps use a siphon to do some other stuff?

Any thoughts are most welcome, and thanks in advance.

Buy two dozen eggs and cook them at different temperature/times combinations so they can see the effect of changing a single variable at a time.

I know it's generally "bad science" to be ingesting things in the lab...but I'll suggest them anyway.

Miracle Berries?

Dry ice ice cream?

Have several lemonades with different ratios of sugar:lemon juice and ask each person to pick their favorite. Plot the results and see if people normally distribute themselves around a mean or if taste is more variable.

Salt cabbage with 2% salt each day for several days and keep compressed and dark (making kraut). Have people taste the effect of time and fermentation.
