ECO-AMAZON PARTY
At your next birthday party, or just a fun night with the kids, create a Rainforest or Amazon scene and have everyone dress up as an exotic animal you haven’t heard of. You’ll probably need to surf the Web or go to the library to get ideas. We’ll help you get started. Every heard of a pink dolphin or a Mexican RedKneed Tarantula? Once you’re kids find an animal that they are most impressed with, encourage them to become involved in protecting it and learning how preserving the environment positively affects all the wonderful creatures in the world.
BAKING SODA VOLCANO
What You Need:
* 6 cups flour
* 2 cups salt
* 4 tablespoons cooking oil
* warm water
* plastic soda bottle
* dishwashing detergent
* food coloring
* vinegar
* baking dish or other pan
* 2 T baking soda
1. First make the ‘cone’ of the baking soda volcano. Mix 6 cups flour, 2 cups salt, 4 tablespoons cooking oil, and 2 cups of water. The resulting mixture should be smooth and firm (more water may be added if needed).
2. Stand the soda bottle in the baking pan and mold the dough around it into a volcano shape. Don’t cover the hole or drop dough into it.
3. Fill the bottle most of the way full with warm water and a bit of red food color (can be done before sculpting if you don’t take so long that the water gets cold).
4. Add 6 drops of detergent to the bottle contents.
5. Add 2 tablespoons baking soda to the liquid.
6. Slowly pour vinegar into the bottle. Watch out - eruption time!
7. Chemistry is Cool!
