ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Vooks Storybooks Halloween Science Activity for Kids: Make Witch’s Brew!
Hey there! I’m Victoria, and I’m Audrey. We’re super excited to show you how to make your very own witch’s brew for Halloween! This fun experiment is inspired by a spooky story we watched, and it’s a great way to get into the Halloween spirit.
First, put some food coloring and vinegar into small cups. Use a different cup for each color you want to use. This will make your brew look magical!
Next, pour some baking soda into your cauldron. You’ll need about half a cup. This is the magic powder that will make your brew bubble and fizz!
Now, pour one cup of colored vinegar over the baking soda in the cauldron. Watch as your witch’s brew starts to bubble and grow! You can add more colors one at a time to make it even more magical.
Isn’t it amazing how the colors mix and bubble? You can keep adding different colors to make your brew look super spooky and fun!
If you love stories, visit your local library. It’s full of exciting storybooks that can bring your imagination to life!
We hope you have a blast making your witch’s brew and enjoy a magical Halloween!
Color Mixing Magic: Try mixing different colors of food coloring in separate cups of vinegar before adding them to the baking soda. What new colors can you create? Write down or draw the new colors you discover. This will help you understand how colors mix and change when combined.
Bubble Observation: After creating your witch’s brew, watch the bubbles closely. How long do they last? Do they change size or shape? Try using a timer to see how long the bubbling lasts with different amounts of baking soda or vinegar. Record your observations and discuss why you think the bubbles behave the way they do.
Everyday Fizz: Look around your home for other items that might fizz when mixed, like lemon juice or soda. With an adult’s help, try mixing these with baking soda. What happens? Compare your results with the witch’s brew experiment. Which one fizzes more? Why do you think that is?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
