S.T.E.A.M. ACTIVITY WITH HOUMA FAMILY DENTAL
HEART ERUPTION Turn a classic experiment with vinegar and baking soda into a work of art! The chemical reaction between the two common household ingredients never gets old. When an acid and a base mix, they form a gas called carbon dioxide. Here the vinegar is the acid and the baking soda is the base. In addition to watching the hearts erupt, watching the colors combine to create one of kind patterns will make you want to do it again and again.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED: • Watercolor paper • Heart pattern (we used a cookie cutter) • Two foil lined baking sheets • Baking soda • Spoon
Using the shape of heart for Valentines Day, this easy afternoon project transforms into a keepsake that you’ll treasure forever and it’s actually frame worthy!
• Vinegar • Medicine dropper • Muffin tin or small cups • Food coloring • Optional for framing: picture frame, plain white sheet of paper and glue stick
