Wizard's Brew

We did an easy yet beautiful activity last evening. I picked it from The Usborn Big Book of Science Things to Make & Do. Check it out for yourself.

All you need:

Baking Soda

Food Colors

Vinegar

Glitter (optional)

Dish Soap

Tray

Jar/Tall Glass

Small bowls & spoons

Instructions:

Cover the work surface with newspapers

Fill the jar halfway with vinegar

Add some drops of one color of food coloring and some glitter

Squeeze in some dish soap, give it a mix and place the jar on a tray

                                                

Now add a heaping spoon of baking soda, stir again and watch the foaming begin

                                   

The soap is the secret ingredient which makes it foam rather than fizz

When the reaction slows down, continue adding baking soda

To change colors, add a tablespoon of vinegar mixed with food color and dump it right in the center of the jar

Did you hear the screams of delight (from both of us) in the video?
