Experimenting

My children have been enjoying Emily's Wonder Lab on Netflix and we recently watched the Halloween edition which had a "puking pumpkin".

Both kids were fascinated by this, so I thought we would try it on a much! smaller scale at home.

We used lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda, then ran out of lemon juice so tried vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. We used a bit of out of date food colouring, hence it being yellow and white, rather than green.

I much preferred the lemon juice to the vinegar. It's safe to say none of us have lost our sense of smell!

The lemon juice and bicarbonate reached and expanded. The children added differing amounts of each product to see what happened to the mix in the bowl.
