Description
A fun and easy science experiment that creates a mini volcano effect using baking soda and vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small jar or clear plastic bottle or sturdy plastic cup; clear is best
- 2 tablespoons Baking soda
- 1/4 cup Vinegar
Instructions
- Find a spot where a little overflow is okay, such as on a tray, baking sheet, or outside on the grass, to contain any mess.
- Carefully add about 2 tablespoons of baking soda into the bottom of your jar.
- Get your vinegar ready! Slowly and steadily pour in about 1/4 cup of vinegar.
- Watch the magic happen! As the vinegar meets the baking soda, you’ll see bubbles form rapidly and the mixture will fizz and erupt out of the top of the jar, just like a real volcano!
Notes
- This is a great activity for kids to learn about chemical reactions.
- Ensure to conduct this experiment in a controlled environment to avoid mess.
- Consider adding food coloring to the vinegar for a more visual effect.
