Fizzing Colors Baking Soda & Vinegar Experiment
A fun and colorful chemistry experiment with baking soda and vinegar that creates fizzy reactions, perfect for kids and educational environments.
Ingredients
Experiment Materials
- 2 tablespoons Baking soda Spoon a generous amount into each cup.
- 1 cup White vinegar Use in combination with food coloring.
- variety Food coloring Choose a mix of colors for the experiment.
- as needed Small cups or containers To hold the baking soda and vinegar mixtures.
- 1 large Baking tray or large dish To catch spills during the experiment.
- as needed Eye droppers or spoons For easier pouring of colored vinegar.
Instructions
Preparation
- Spread out your baking tray or large dish to catch any overflow from the experiment.
- Set your small cups or containers on the tray, spaced apart.
Mixing Ingredients
- Spoon a generous amount of baking soda into each cup, around 2 tablespoons.
- In separate containers, mix white vinegar with a few drops of food coloring (one color per container).
- Stir gently to see the colors come to life!
Fizzing Reaction
- Use an eye dropper or spoon to carefully add the colored vinegar to the baking soda.
- Watch and listen as the mixture fizzes, bubbles, and produces a colorful eruption!
Experimentation
- Repeat the process with different colors and combinations to see how they interact.
- Observe the changes and discuss the science behind the fizzy reactions!
Notes
Tips: Use natural dyes for different colors, experiment with ratios of baking soda and vinegar, try different container shapes, and add glitter for extra fun!
