Day 7, color fizz

This was our color fizz project for our color themed week.  It was much more thrilling for me than for my son.  He struggled with the eye dropper.  Next time I will just give him some little teaspoon scoops or something.  In the end (after about 10 minutes) he dumped all four containers of color right in the pie pan, which I then promptly put down the sink. (Drain cleaner!)
If he was a little bit older or even on a better day when he was more interested he would have been great.  But...


Here's how to do it:

Shallow pan of baking soda.

bowls of food colored vinegar.

dropper or maybe 1/4-1/2 teaspoons.

Drop the colors and watch them fizz.

 The first few drops.  

 You can see his intensity and focus.  It really would have been great had he been able to figure out the dropper.  It wasn't as fun of a project if mom has to do the whole thing for you.

 As you can see my colors weren't as vibrant as the original pinner's were but he had fun with the fizziness of it anyway.

 Action shots.

 The boredom with the dropper was quick so this was the point where he just dumped 'em all in and they fizzed up quite nicely.  I promptly sent the whole mess down the drain!

The original pin with this idea is just a picture but you get the idea.  I found it here: color fizz
