I had grand plans this summer to do some really cool stuff with The Littlest Apple.\u00c2\u00a0 A new theme every week: knights, pirates, outer space, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 But then I just never had quite the energy I needed to get everything set up and planned out.<\/p>\n

As a result, we’ve had a relatively low key unplanned summer so far.<\/p>\n

One thing we HAVE done are some little hands on science experiments like this one.\u00c2\u00a0 In fact, we’ve done this one quite a few times over the last couple of weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 The Littlest Apple LOVES it, and I love it too because it’s quick to throw together and easy to clean up.<\/p>\n

I put a small dollop of food coloring gel in the bottom of each glass, then put a couple tablespoons of baking soda in each glass, covering the food coloring completely.\u00c2\u00a0 Then I filled up another glass with vinegar, and let The Littlest Apple use a turkey baster to transfer the vinegar to the cups of baking soda.\u00c2\u00a0 This is what it looks like before he gets started….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He LOVED the fizzy reaction, and the cool “surprise” colors that appeared in each cup as he added the vinegar to the baking soda with the turkey baster.\u00c2\u00a0 This kept him busy for quite a while.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here are some more photos of the same activity on a different day, taken with my husband’s iPhone….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He REALLY loves to make the cups overflow….(that’s why I would highly advise a tray underneath if you try this)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does anyone have any book recommendations for simple science projects for kids?\u00c2\u00a0 Or any favorite science experiments you’d like the share? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
