Hello,
We are having our annual fund raising luncheon and I am looking for an
awesome, fast, safe, easy activity for the guests to do while eating lunch.

Last year we did some pressure experiments.  We had Cartesian Divers on the
table that people could play with.  There were also flasks filled with
colored water with a stopper and tubing coming up, making a rudimentary
thermometer.  We had a race to see who had the hottest table, as people
warmed up their hands with friction and passed the flask around the table.
People loved it!

Another successful activity year, was "make a band".  We had bags of random
materials on the tables and guests had to make different musical
instruments.  Some of the tables then played tunes.

There is time for folks to do self-guided activities while they are eating
lunch and another 5 minutes to do a whole group activity or have people
share what they did/made.

Your awesome ideas would be appreciated!
