Everyone knows I love science. Well, I had a sick kid today and wanted to cheer him up a bit. This worked really well and got him off the couch for about 30 minutes.
Colored vinegar dropped onto mounds of baking soda. He thought it was too cool. After he mixed the colors in the cups and poured the contents onto the tray, we started over again. He asked for water and I obliged. I did fill one cup with vinegar so he could experience he difference. He told me the water was, "too big" meaning it isn't working right. I then showed him the vinegar. He kept trying to use the water thinking eventually it would work. (stubbornness could lead to a great scientific mind. At least there is one plus to it) He loved mixing he colors together and pouring them back and forth between the cups. These eventually were poured out onto the tray as well.
Great fun for the both of us!
