Ready for a messy activity? Make sure to take this experiment outside!

For this activity you will need the following items:

• Ziploc plastic sandwich baggie
• Vinegar
• Baking soda
• Paper towel
• Food Color (optional)

Now here’s what you do:

1. Grab one piece of paper towel and place 1.5 Tablespoons of baking soda on it. Fold so baking soda does not fall out.
2. Place ½ Cup of vinegar in the bag. Add food coloring if you want a colorful explosion!
3. Now, outside, place your package of baking soda inside the sandwich bag. QUICKLY seal the bag and back away. 
4. What is happening in the bag? What do you see?? What happens?
5. Want to make a bigger explosion? Use a smaller bag with the same measurements OR the same size bag with double the measurements.
