Mindblowing Science

Edy received a science experiment kit for Christmas, mainly consisting of baking soda, citric acid and some powdered colorant for experimenting with acids and bases, and creating CO2 bubbles when you mix them together.

We performed the color changing volcano and underwater volcano experiments this weekend. When we are done with the ones in the box, Edy designs her own versions, which usually consist of mixing various things together and seeing what happens. The last pic is our "science orange" that we mixed into our color changing volcano. It actually did register a reddish color change, which identified that orange juice is an acid.

She really enjoys it and she is retaining a lot of the science behind it. She is the one that told me the orange juice was an acid based on the color. That's mind blowing!
