Easy Baking Soda Experiments for Kids

Have you ever tried experimenting with baking soda? What are your favorite things with it? Note that Baking Soda is also known as Sodium Bicarbonate in some parts of the world. It can be found in almost every American kitchen.

Having some kitchen science fun with baking soda is always a good idea for family activity. There are so many fantastic uses of baking soda for creative experiments. It is alkaline and reacts with acids like vinegar, lemon juice, releasing carbon dioxide (a kind of common gas found in the air) and water. 

Conducting some baking soda science experiments with kids is a great, safe, and easy way to introduce to them the concept of a chemical reaction. We keep things simple and easy, by just playing with variations of chemical reactions. 

Lemon Volcano

It seems that kids love any experiments that erupt. Exploding this colorful erupting lemon volcano always get kids so excited! The required material I believe you have already had in your kitchen. 

It’s the perfect rainy day activity for your little one. They’re going to think of you a magician when you combine lemon, baking soda, and food coloring and let the chemistry take hold, 

Black fire snake

Fire snake? Yes, that’s right. It sounds crazy, isn’t it?   Fire snake referred to as a black snake or baking soda and sugar snake.

It is a classic science experiment you can do right in your own kitchen With a few simple ingredients, baking soda and sugar mixture and fuel to ignite the reaction. Although it looks magical, it is easy to start. Let's find out how it works！

Melting Baking Soda Christmas Tree

Baking soda and vinegar never get cliche. All the fizzing sound, bubble, and color changes make it a fun activity anytime.  Combining chemistry and creativity can be made into any seasonal theme! It is a good idea to make a few Fizzing Christmas Trees to get in the holiday spirit. We made baking soda green, formed Christmas trees with paper plates, and added some vinegar solution to start the chemical reaction. 

Carbon Dioxide Gas Extinguisher

How to teach your kids that how the fire extinguisher works？

There is no way better than doing this Carbon Dioxide Gas Extinguisher experiment with them. In this cool experiment, we shall show how to make a fire extinguisher with baking soda and vinegar. Mix them together to have carbon dioxide which is what will put out the candle. 

Please do this under adult supervision.

Baking soda reacted with the acid, producing carbon dioxide which is what makes these amazing experiments. Do you know that the solid carbon dioxide is called dry ice? Right the one that always has the fog effect. Dry ice is another ideal STEM experiment material. Look what unbelievable experiments we made using Dry Ice. Check these cool dry ice experiments for kids.

After trying so many kids of baking soda I found this baking soda on Amazon work the best in these experiments. If you do not have any baking soda in the kitchen right now and want to purchase some that work best for the science experiments, this is a choice.

Baking Soda Experiments are great. Balloon experiments are not bad. Check out these Balloon experiments.  Learn something about the most common balloon.

Dry ice is another great material for a little one to explore the science world. The magic of bubbly, foggy dry ice makes your kids day. Check out these dry ice fun now!
