Apple Science
I love simple projects that help kids learn! ThisĀ apple scienceĀ doubles as both a funĀ fall science experiment and funĀ activities for September. In thisĀ apple experiment preschoolers, toddlers, kindergartners, and grade 1 students will create a simple chemical reaction with vinegar and baking soda that will cause a fun erruption. Whether you are using this for anĀ apple theme preschool or a hands-onĀ ten apples up on top activity– this is sure to grab kids attention and help them to want to learn!
Apple Experiment
To try this simple apple activity you will need a few common materials you probably already have on hand at home:
- playdough – red, yellow, and green
- clean empty plastic water bottle
- green pipe cleaner to make stems / leaves
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1 cup of distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dish soap
- food coloring
- funnel (optional, but helpful)
Apple Science Experiment
Start by putting red playdough around the bottle.
Flatten out a band of yellow playdough and wrap it around the empty bottle just under the red playdough.
Apple Activities
Finally, wrap a strip of green playdough around the bottom including the bottom of the bottle for stability. Your layers should be pressed up against each other like apples stacked up with just the bottle opening showing at the top.
Apple Theme Preschool
Carefully cut green chenille sticks in half and bend to make them look like leaves. Press into the top of each layer of playdough so it looks like the leaves on each apple.
Now you have a red delicious apple on top of a gold delicious yellow apple, sitting on a granny smith green apple. Stand it up on a dish or piec plate with a lip.
Activities for September
Now comes the frun science part! Put the baking soda, and dish soap in the bottle with the help of a funnel. Add food coloring if you want.
Pour in the vinegar and step back as the erruption is about to happen to the 3 apples stacked up!
Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment
As the bicarbonate soda and vinegar combine they will create a chemical reaction that will produce carbon dioxide (gas) which mixed with the dish soap will bubble. The gas will push the liquid and bubbles up and out of the bottle.
Apple Activities for Preschoolers
THis is such a fun, simple way for kids to learn about chemical reactions or states of matter for kids while having fun with an apple activity. As you can see,Ā we forgot to add the food coloring until it had already started errupting. No worries just squeeze some in and you will still get to enjoy the color and depending on when you add it maybe some cool patterns in the apple volcano erruption!
Ten Apples Up on Top Activities
THis is a great book activity for this Ten Apples UP on Top, a classic Dr Seuss book for kids.
