How to Make a Fizzy Easter Science Activity

1. Make The baking soda mixture

Mix baking soda, a few drops of food coloring and water in a small bowl. You don’t need a lot of food coloring. Just enough to make the baking soda stick together.

You can make batches of different colors, which is what I did. Or just make one large batch with a single color. It’s up to you and what will work best on the day.

2. Make the Easter shapes

Press the baking soda mixture into your Easter themed mold. If you don’t have an egg-shaped silicone mold on hand, you can always use plastic Easter eggs instead. Plastic eggs are a great way to make fizzy eggs for this Easter science experiment.

3. Freeze the mixture

Place the baking soda mixture in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or overnight. I like to leave mine overnight, but that’s because that method works for me.

You don’t actually need the baking soda to be frozen solid. Placing it in the freezer just helps to solidify it enough so that the shapes don’t crumble when you take them out of the mold.

4. Place the frozen egg onto a cookie sheet.

Use a plate or cookie sheet to hold the fizzy Easter eggs. This is a simple way to keep the experiment contained and easier to clean up when all of the fun is finished.

5. Drop vinegar onto the baking soda egg

You can use a dropper, squeeze bottle or even just a spoon to pour vinegar on top of the the baking soda eggs. Then stand back and watch as the chemical reaction starts and makes the eggs bubble and fizz. Kids of all ages will have so much fun watching the vinegar reaction take place.

6. Repeat and enjoy

Keep going until the fizzy reaction is complete and even adding more vinegar won’t create anymore bubbles.
