Our neighbor across the street is a chemist and therefore Daniel’s new hero. Kevin has been giving him ideas for chemistry projects using household ingredients. Anything that fizzes, overflows or changes color is especially exciting. Daniel spent an hour the other day trying different combinations of ingredients and came up with the best “lava flow” I’ve ever seen. Next project – paper mache volcano!
The Recipe
1/8 C Hair Gel
1 T Baking Soda
1/2 T Baking Powder
1 pkg. Kool-aid mix (red or orange for lava)
Mix together and watch it bubble in the sink. To make it overflow add:
1/4 C Water
1 t Salt
