Science Experiment 3/6/13



This is the science experiment we did at circle today. The children LOVED it so I thought I would share. Now you can do it at home and see it for yourself.

You will need:
2 Tbsp warm water
1 tsp yeast
1/2 c hydrogen peroxide 6% OR Salon Care 20 volume clear developer (available at beauty supply stores)
         Do not use hydrogen peroxide 3% - it is not strong enough and will not cause the reaction.
a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolor
one pump of dish soap

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside.
Put hydrogen peroxide, food coloring and dish soap in a plastic bottle.
Place plastic bottle on tray or in sink to catch the mess.
Add yeast solution to hydrogen peroxide solution and watch it foam up.
