Halloween Paper Science Experiments

2. Magic Opening Ghost

Carefully cut around the ghost shape and fold up the head, arms, and legs. Place the folded paper ghost in water and watch as it springs open! This clever science trick works because paper is made up of fibres that expand as they absorb water.
