Many substances seem so familiar to adults that they are almost invisible and uninteresting. But almost any of them is a fantastic world for children, in which amazing miracles reign, which can be created even with the most ordinary soda.
Attention! Do not leave young children unattended during experiments.

Unusual gas
For this experiment, a balloon, apple cider vinegar, soda, an empty bottle and ordinary water will be useful. In a small bottle, pour some water and add vinegar. In the ball you need to pour a couple of spoons of soda and add a little soda to the bottle, and then gently pull the ball on the neck of the bottle. Coming into a reaction, these substances will create the necessary pressure and the ball will inflate on its own, as if by magic.
Bath soda bombs
Children’s favorite bath bombs can be quickly made with their own hands. For this experience, you will need: baking soda (10 tbsp), sea salt (2 tbsp), citric acid (5 tbsp) and corn starch (2 tbsp) and some food coloring. In a separate container mixes all the components in stages, first citric acid and salt, then baking soda and starch, at the end add dye. Form balls (you can use moulds for sand or ice) and leave for some time until completely dry. Bombs can be used for experiments and exercises in the water.
Volcanic eruption
When soda and vinegar interact, carbon dioxide and water are released, which can clearly demonstrate the experience with a volcanic eruption. You will need: 15 ml. vinegar, a few drops of dishes, any food coloring, 10 g. soda, plastic bottle, tray, foil, dough for sculpting, scotch and PVA glue.
The bottle needs to be cut in half, and then glue the bottom in the upper part. Next, we attach this bottle to the tray, wrap it with foil and complete the process by forming a “volcano” from sculpting dough. With the help of glue, we fix the shape and make “winds” like on a real volcano.
How to make “lava”: all components (except vinegar) are mixed and at the very end (when it’s time to demonstrate the experience) add vinegar. Having reacted, the substances form real lava, which will begin to stand out on the surface of the volcano.
Soda slime
In order to prepare a small slime, you will need 10 grams of soda and 5-6 ml. detergent, as well as 5-6 ml. hand cream and any food dye. It should be a stretching mass that changes shape well and stays moist for a long time.
Pharaoh's serpent
Attention! The experience is better to spend in gloves, and the audience seated at a considerable distance and prepare a bucket of water.
An amazing experience that will not disappoint even adults, because a real wriggling snake will instantly appear from the plate! And what is more incredible - it can be made almost from improvised means. For the experience you will need: ordinary pure sand 200 grams and the same amount of alcohol, soda (half a teaspoon), powdered sugar 5 grams.
Sand is poured into a deep plate, in the center of which a small depression is made. Soda is mixed with powdered sugar and poured into a depression in the sand. In order for the snake to be flat, it is better to use an additional ordinary neck from a plastic bottle, which forms a depression in the sand. After the formation of the ring, the neck is removed, and alcohol is added to the hole. And the most important part can be considered the end of the experiment: the contents of the hole must be carefully set on fire. As they enter into a chemical reaction, the substances will begin to transform into rings, which in turn will begin to connect with each other, turning into a large wriggling snake.
Effervescent
A cheerful "bounty" can be prepared at home with a child. To do this, take 5 g. soda and 5 ml. vinegar, as well as 300 ml. water. For greater benefit and if vinegar was not on hand, you can use ordinary lemon juice or citric acid in the same proportions. Thus, almost all carbonated drinks are prepared in factories and factories. Together with the child, you can experiment with the color of “rose” adding the most incredible dyes.
We make snow at home.
If the window is winter, then the most fabulous experience can definitely be considered the preparation of snow at home. To do this, you can mix an equal amount of soda and shaving foam, and then enter a small amount of sequins. It will turn out a beautiful mass from which you can safely sculpt snowballs and build small snowmen. You can also read about others.magical winter experiences.
Wonderful crystals
You can create a fairy tale even at home, especially since there is everything at hand for this. In order to make beautiful crystals from soda, you need 300 ml. hot water, 200 grams of soda, thread or wire. Soda is added to hot water and stirred until completely dissolved. Then lower part of the thread or wire and leave overnight. During this time, beautiful crystals will begin to form on the surface, you can enhance the effect by adding dye to the water.
