SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR THE EASTER SCIENCE EXPERIMENT FOR KIDS

Large plastic tray – these are my favorites
Clear containers (plastic or glass)
Gel Food Coloring
Baking soda
Vinegar
Eggs
Plastic squeeze bottle

Step by Step Directions on The Best Way To Dye Easter Eggs

Start by hard boiling the eggs.

Make certain to use a large plastic tray as there will be liquid overflow out of the container.

Place 1 TBSP Baking soda into each cup. Add a few drops of food coloring over this (5 drops)

Add one hard-boiled egg to each cup.

Pour ½ cup of vinegar into each cup using a squeeze bottle) and it will bubble. (You can add less, it really depends on the size of the cup that you are using. It can be ⅓ cup.) You want to make sure the egg is fully submerged when it sits to rest for 10 minutes.

Once egg color is solid you can move it to paper towels to dry off.

You’ll have beautiful and bright-colored Easter eggs for wonderful decorations!

What causes the combination of vinegar and baking soda to fizz?

It’s science! (or magic!) But basically, when the two ingredients are mixed, they release carbon dioxide and that is how the fizzing occurs.

Is it harmful to mix vinegar and baking soda together?

It shouldn’t be. If you’re worried about this, however, make certain that you’re with the kids while they’re doing The Best Way To Dye Easter Eggs activity.

What type of a reaction is baking soda and vinegar?

When the two ingredients are combined, this is known as an acid-base reaction. Talk to the kids about this type of reaction and about how vinegar is acetic acid and baking soda is bicarbonate.

So many chances for even more science and learning fun!
