Colour explosion

The other afternoon, Miss Dorge organized a science experiment for the children to take part in.  They were all very intrigued when she walked in with big white buckets, soap, glitter, and food colouring. They couldn't wait to see what was next.

After being split into groups of 5, the children were able to take part and watch a colourful chemical reaction. 

First the children followed instructions by adding vinegar and soap into their cup, then a colour and glitter of their choice.

The final step was to add baking soda into the cups and watch the magic happen. The children were so surprised to see their concoctions erupting out of their cups all glittery and foamy.  "It's like a volcano!"
