HappyGrace Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Dd10 and ds7 had a GREAT time at a co-op with litmus paper yesterday but we didn't have much time. So I had the idea to put together a kit for them for Christmas! (You have to know my dc to know that they will LOVE this! :) On the way home they said it would be a dream come true to have as much materials and time as they want to do testing!) So far I have- -plenty of litmus paper -bottle of lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda -roll of antacids -little plastic cups for mixing I'm drawing a blank on what else?

Crafty Mathy Mom Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Here are some ideas: Cream of tartar, Kool Aid type drink mix, Milk of Magnesia (dilute it a bit to thin), instant coffee, mouthwash, packet of Emergen C. I may think of more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I would add a base that isn't a carbonate - maybe ammonia? (Maybe diluted a bit so it doesn't stink quite so much? LOL) Just because in mixing acids and bases they should realize that not all of them will fizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
