Development of live-action chemistry demonstrations for display cases and museums will be presented. We have been developing self-contained chemical reactions. These self-contained set ups are designed last for weeks. They are also chosen to develop interest and keep viewers coming back for more time-after-time. Systems that have been developed, are being developed and planned to be developed will be presented. Correlation of the systems with the NRS standards for informal science education will also be presented. The focus of our systems is on small, airtight apparatus' which contain two separate aqueous solutions. These systems can be used in order to study evaporation and diffusivity of gaseous species in the atmosphere, typically strongly ammoniacal solutions in conjunction with ionic cuprous solutions have been used in the past.
