Create an adorable crystal snowman using baking soda in this fun and educational project that combines science with creativity.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- Bowl for mixing
- Small container (like a cup or jar)
- Spoon for stirring
- Optional: food coloring or glitter for decoration
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of water. Stir until you achieve a smooth mixture without lumps.
- Add corn syrup: Gradually add 1/2 cup of corn syrup to the baking soda mixture. Stir well until everything is completely blended.
- Shape your snowman: Use your hands to mold the mixture into three snowman balls: a large base, a medium body, and a smaller head.
- Set up for crystallization: Place your snowman on a small container to catch any drippings. Leave it in a warm place to dry and allow crystals to grow over the next few days.
