Let’s chat with Science Alice! 🔴IS YOUR CHILD EASILY BORED AND DOES YOUR CHILD NEED SOMETHING TO EXPLORE AND FIGURE OUT BY THEMSELVES?🔴 Then keep reading this post! In October we had a Halloween experiment - we made a volcano Jack’o’Lantern in class! 🖤Here are the ingredients: 🎃 Jack’o’lantern vinegar dish soap baking soda red food dye 🖤Steps: 1️⃣ Carve your pumpkin to make a Jack’o’lantern. 2️⃣ Add baking soda (½ cup). 3️⃣ Add your detergent (not too much) 4️⃣ Add a few red food dye drops to the vinegar to make it red. 5️⃣ Pour the vinegar slowly (you don’t want to add too much) 6️⃣ Observe the reaction and discuss with the kids! 🧪Scientific explanation: This is an acid/base chemical reaction. The vinegar is acidic and the baking soda is alkaline, also called a “base.” Whenever you combine an acid and a base, the reaction produces a salt and water. In the case of baking soda and vinegar, there is a second reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas. This reaction causes the soapy mixture to bubble over, resulting in a satisfying lava simulation. While “salt and water” sounds like a harmless product of this reaction, use good judgment and never take the risk of consuming your science projects. Were you able to guess what did all of the experiment want to test?
