First, add a couple teaspoons of baking soda to each test tube.  You want to prep all three projects next to each other at the same time so the colorful erruptions flow over and next to each other.

HINT: We like to do this in a glass baking dish or art tray to contain the oozing, fizzing, chemical reaction.

So what is gong on in this chemistry experiment for kids? Well, this baking soda and vinegar reaction occurs because you combined an acid and a base. The baking soda is a base and the vinegar is the acid. When mixed they produce carbon dioxide gas. The dish soap creates extra bubbles and fizz when the process pushes the liquid up and out as it makes room for the CO2 gas. The food coloring and glitter is just for fun. Giving kids a chance to play with science helps them not to be intimidated by science, but look at it as a fun adventure. Make it more educational by asking kids what they think will happen; allowing them to make a hypothesis.
