I love this science experiment because it combines art and science. In this experiment will explore a chemical reaction and as a bonus they get to explore color mixing.
Materials Needed:
A Foil Tray or any shallow container
Baking Soda
White Vinegar
Food Coloring
Eye Droppers or Pipettes
Directions:
1. Fill each foil tray with baking soda. You want to make sure the whole bottom of the tray is covered.
2. Fill small cups with vinegar and a couple of drops food coloring .
3. Then pass out the tray and the cups of colored vinegar and give each child an eye dropper and let them explore and observe. I always tell the children to go slow so that they can observe what is happening.
4. I find the children will happily do this for 20-25 minutes. I always stop them when the tray starts to have more vinegar than baking soda.
