Fizzy stuff


Baking Soda & Vinegar Volcano
What you'll need:

Baking Soda (make sure it's not baking powder)
Vinegar
A container to hold everything and avoid a big mess!

Paper towels or a cloth (just in case)

Instructions:

Place some of the baking soda into your container.
Pour in some of the vinegar
Watch as the reaction takes place!

What's happening?

The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a base while the vinegar (acetic acid) is an acid. When they react together they form carbonic acid which is very unstable, it instantly breaks apart into water and carbon dioxide, which creates all the fizzing as it escapes the solution.

For extra effect you can make a realistic looking volcano. It takes some craft skills but it will make your vinegar and baking soda eruptions will look even more impressive!

Fizz Ice- In a cup mix baking soda with little bit of water. The scoop the mix into a ice cube tray. Once frozen run back of tray under hot water to release the ice cubes and put them on a deep plate or bowl. Last to make them fizz use a spoon or anything like that to pour vinegar over them and let them fizz! 
hint-(i wouldn't fill all of the ice cube tray cause then ur gonna be using a lot of vinegar)We also add glitter to ours just for color.

Fizz Egg- (same recipe as volcano again) This time with EGGS! i cracked the top of the eggs open then cleaned them out with warm water. After i filled them with some baking soda and little bit of food coloring (it will stain fingers not much but you can also try to use koolaid) after I add the vinegar and done! They bubble up a lot and after they where done bubbling i added more vinegar and it did it over again.

Big giant slime ball!!

This was such a fun activity! All you need is two boxes of slime baff and a wubble ball. We got the super wobble ball. So to make this epic slime ball use the tube it came with and place it in the ball as directed on the instructions. Next pour in all the slime baff. After that grab a hose and hold it in the tube. At first we did not let it get that big, too scared of it popping.  The kids including neighbor kids loved it. We played kid bowling and let this roll down the driveway. The kids thought it was the best thing ever to see this ball bend around them with out breaking. (will attach videos at the end)  If you look close you can see the slime forming. You can barely tell it started as a blue ball.  After awhiel of play we decided to make it bigger. We attached the tube and hose again and let it grow till the kids said stop.  Below is how big it got moments before popping.  This had to weigh a lot. Once the ball popped all the ki...
