In this activity, we will be learning about chemical reactions by creating our very own bath bomb. When we place a bath bomb in water one of the key observations we can make is the sudden fizzing that occurs, but do you know what ingredients we used are causing this fizzing reaction?
Supplies needed:
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup citric acid
- 2 TLBSP epsom salt
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1 1/4 TLBSP baby oil or water
- 1/4 TLBSP water
- Up to 1 tsp fragrances oil
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon
- Small cup
- Molds (a muffin tin is a great oven safe option)
