Something anyone can try at home even with rudimentary camera and lighting equipment is combining oil with water.
Pour some (room temperature) water into a clear-bottomed* glass container and add some cooking oil. Light from underneath and get in close with the camera - Bob's your uncle!
Ok, there's a little more to it than that, but there are already plenty of good tutorials across the web that can get you started.
Once you understand the basics, experiment with different backgrounds, apertures, depths of water, shooting distance and so-on. Its really easy to while away the whole day on this stuff.
*This is fairly important, unless you want to sign all your bubbly masterpieces 'Pyrex'.
