    Fizzy, Frozen Easter Eggs

    April 4, 2014 By Emma Vanstone 1 Comment

    Baking soda experiments are always very popular with my children, it’s such a fun reaction and can be used in lots of creative ways.

    We’ve made baking soda ice before, but this time I added a little twist by making the ice Easter egg shaped. We also made some without the baking soda and hid a toy lizard, which the girls had to ‘rescue’.

    What you need

    Egg shaped mould

    Water

    Food colouring

    Small toy

    Baking soda

    Vinegar

    Instructions

    Add some food colouring to water and pour into moulds.

    Add about a tablespoon of baking soda to the ones you want to be fizzy.

    Add a toy if you wish.

    Easter Science Experiments

    We played with the ice eggs first. I asked the girls how they thought they could ‘rescue’ the lizard. First they tried to hack away at the ice using a spoon, when this didn’t work they wanted to put it somewhere warm. I suggested pouring warm water over the top instead.

     Easter Science

    Once the lizard had been set free, we poured some vinegar over the baking soda eggs, which fizzed brilliantly.

     Baking Soda Experiments

    This is such a fun and easy experiment, a great introduction to chemical reactions.

    The Science bit

    Vinegar (an acid ) and bicarbonate of soda ( an alkali ) react together to neutralise each other. This reaction releases carbon dioxide a gas which is the bubbles you see.
