How Do You Make A Science Project With Baking Soda & Vinegar?
Several science experiments involve the interaction of baking soda and vinegar; one of the most common is making a volcano that uses baking soda and vinegar as the exploding lava of the structure. This is a fun, visual way to teach kids about what happens when an acid, the vinegar, interacts with a base, the carbon dioxide. Kids can see how you get immediate bubbles of carbon dioxide. Tape the paper cup to the middle of the paper plate. Cover the cup and paper plate completely with a sheet of foil. Tape the foil to the underside of the plate. Poke a hole into the foil covering the cup with your finger. Place the foil-covered plate and cup on a large metal pan. The pan will help catch the exploding lava. Measure 2 tbsp. of water. Pour it into the paper cup. Add 1 tbsp. of baking soda. Mix the ingredients together with a spoon. Add 2 tbsp. of vinegar to a separate cup. When ready, pour all of the vinegar into the cup that contains the water and baking soda mixture. Watch the “lava” erupt
