Apple Volcano Experiment
To try this fun apple science activity all you need are a few simple materials you probably already have at home:
- ~ 1/4 cup baking soda (give or take)
- ~ 2 squirts dish soap
- ~ 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
- pipette or dropper (optional)
- food coloring (optional)
- apple (s)
- sharp knife
- plate with lip
Apple Science
The first step is to core the apple. Do not core all the way through – you want to leave the bottom of the apple intact. Put the apple on the plate or tray.
Apple Activities
Fill the core of the apple with baking soda. There is no exact measurement, but just make sure you don’t fill up the hole all the way. Leave some room for the vinegar. Optional: add a drop of dish soap to make the eruption nice and foamy. You can also add a couple of drops of food coloring for a more colorful eruption.
Apple Activities for Preschooler
Slowly pour in the vinegar. If you have younger kids who can’t control how much they pour, then it’s better to use a pipette or dropper.
Watch the eruption take place!
Apple Activities for Kindergarten
What happened? The baking soda and vinegar have a chemical reaction that creates carbon dioxide that manifests itself as foam thanks to the dish soap.
Apple Experiment
YOu can re-errupt the same apple, try different apples and color combinations, or even use a fake apple to not waste food if you prefer!
