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

Unusual gas
Balloon, apple cider vinegar, soda, empty bottle and plain water will be useful for this experiment Pour some water into a small bottle and add vinegar. A couple of spoons of soda should be poured into the ball and a little soda added to the bottle, and then gently pull the ball over the neck of the bottle. By reacting, these substances will create the necessary pressure and the ball will inflate on its own, as if by magic.
Soda bath bombs
Children's favorite bath bombs can be made with your own hands quickly For this experience you will need: baking soda (10 tbsp), sea salt (2 tbsp), citric acid (5 tbsp) and corn starch (2 tbsp) and a little food coloring. In a separate container, mix 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 sand or ice molds) and leave for a while until completely dry. The bombs can be used for experiments and activities in water.
Volcanic eruption
When soda and vinegar interact, carbon dioxide and water are released, which can be clearly demonstrated by the experience with a volcanic eruption. It will take: 15 ml. vinegar, a few drops of dishwashing detergent, any food coloring, 10 grams. soda, plastic bottle, tray, foil, modeling dough, tape and PVA glue.
The bottle needs to be cut in half and then glued together at the top. Next, attach this bottle to the tray, wrap it with foil and complete the process by forming “volcano” from modeling dough. Using glue, we secure the mold and make “twists” like on a real volcano.
How to make “lav”: all components (except vinegar) are mixed and at the very end (when it’s time to demonstrate the experience) we add vinegar. Having reacted, the substances form real lava, which will begin to be released on the surface of the volcano.
Soda slime
In order to prepare a small slime you will need 10 grams. soda and 5-6 ml. detergent, as well as 5-6 ml. hand cream and any food coloring. You should get a stretchy mass that changes shape well and remains moist for a long time.
Pharaoh's snake
Attention! It is better to conduct the experience with gloves, and seat the audience at a considerable distance and prepare a bucket of water.
An amazing experience that will not disappoint even adults, because a real writhing snake will instantly appear from the plate! And what is more incredible is that it can be made practically from improvised means. For the experience you will need: ordinary clean sand grams 200 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 smooth, it is better to use an additional ordinary neck from a plastic bottle, which forms a depression in the sand. After forming the ring, the neck is removed and alcohol is added to the hole. And the most important part can be considered the ending of the experiment: the contents of the hole must be carefully set on fire. Entering 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 writhing snake.
Velcro
Cheerful “hispy” can be prepared at home with your child. To do this, you need to take 5 gr. soda and 5 ml. vinegar, as well as 300 ml. water. For greater benefit and if you don’t have vinegar on hand, you can use regular lemon juice or citric acid in the same proportions. Thus, almost all carbonated drinks are prepared in factories. Together with your child, you can experiment with the color “hispy” by adding the most incredible dyes.
We prepare snow at home
If it's winter outside, then making snow at home can definitely be considered the most fabulous experience. To do this, you can mix equal amounts of soda and shaving foam, and then add a small amount of sparkles. You will get a beautiful mass from which you can safely make snowballs and build small snowmen. And you can also read about others magical winter experiences.
Wonderful crystals
You can even create a fairy tale at home, especially since you have all the means for this at hand. 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 some of the thread or wire is lowered and left overnight. During this time, beautiful crystals will begin to form on the surface, and the effect can be enhanced by adding dye to the water.
