Materials Needed

  • ½ cup of vinegar

  • 1 squeeze of dish soap

  • 2 Drops of food coloring

  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda

  • Glitter

  • Jar

  • Cookie Sheet

  • If desired-observation record sheet

Time to Experiment!

To remove some of the "mess factor," place the jar on a large cookie sheet. 

 

Measure vinegar and pour it into the jar. (This is a great time for your child to help out and work on some math skills)!

 

Add in some food coloring and glitter!

 

Add in a squirt of dish soap

 

Mix in the baking soda

 

Explain that baking soda and vinegar foam when combined because (fancy word) carbon dioxide is escaping in bubbles!
