Description
A colorful science project where kids learn about chemical reactions by creating a volcano using snow, baking soda, and vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1 cup vinegar
- Food coloring (various colors)
- Snow or crushed ice (enough to create a mound)
- A shallow dish or tray
- Plastic squeeze bottles or cups for pouring
- Optional: Glitter for extra sparkle
Instructions
- Create the Snow Mountain: Pile snow or crushed ice into the center of your shallow dish or tray, shaping it into a volcano-like mound with a crater at the top.
- Prepare the Volcano Eruption Mixture: In a bowl, mix 1 cup of baking soda with a few drops of food coloring.
- Add Baking Soda to the Volcano: Spoon the colored baking soda into the crater hole of the snow volcano.
- Get Ready to Erupt: Slowly pour vinegar over the baking soda volcano and watch the colorful fizzing eruptions.
- Repeat for More Fun: Add more colored baking soda and vinegar to create additional eruptions.
Notes
Customize colors, swap materials for different seasons, and add scents for enhanced sensory experience.
