Equipment

  • Used and Empty Water Bottle with the top cut off
  • 1 cup Water
  • 4 Tablespoons of Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon of Dish Soap
  • Food Coloring of your Choice
  • 1 cup of Vinegar

Instructions

  • Cut the neck off of the top of the water bottle.
  • Place the water bottle on the location where the eruption will occur.  I used a jelly roll pan and covered it in foil first for easy clean up but you can also do this experiment outside so clean up is even easier!
  • Put the water, baking soda, dish soap and food coloring of your choice in the water bottle.  Gently mix these ingredients so that they are combined.
  • Next have the kids gather around the water bottle to get ready for the experiment.
  • Next, use a separate cup to add the vinegar to the water bottle ingredients and watch the eruption that occurred.
  • This experiment is quick and easy that the kids can easily take turns creating their own.
  • Enjoy!
