Description
Transform ordinary seashells into beautiful art pieces with this engaging science experiment that showcases the reaction between vinegar and seashells.
Ingredients
- Fresh seashells (clean and dry)
- White vinegar
- A glass or plastic container
- Food coloring (optional)
- Paper towels for drying
Instructions
- Start with clean, dry seashells. Rinse under cold water to remove sand or dirt.
- Place the seashells in the container, ensuring they fit without stacking too high. Add food coloring if desired.
- Slowly pour white vinegar over the seashells until completely submerged. Watch for fizzing as the reaction begins.
- Observe the reaction, allowing shells to sit in vinegar for about 24 hours for best results.
- After 24 hours, carefully remove the shells, rinse under cold water, and lay them on paper towels to dry completely.
Notes
You can personalize the experience by choosing different seashells or colors. Try adding glitter or clear nail polish for extra shine after drying.
