November Science Experiment
Mix together baking soda, several squirts of dish soap, and as much water as it takes to make a ball and keep it’s shape.
Thanksgiving Activities
Seperate your baking soda into seperate containers and use food coloring to make whatever color turkey feathers you would like. We opted for some nice Autumn colors of red, orange, and yellow.
Turkey Activities
Shape the baking soda mixture into feather shapes and put in semi-circle around top half of plate. Make sure to alterante colors and leaves space in between them. Again, be as creative as you like in the colors of your turkey feathers.
November Activities
Now make a construction paper turkey out of brown cricles, orange feet / beak, red wattle, and google eyes. Place on plate on top of the endge of the feathers.
Turkey Activities for Preschoolers
Now comes the fun science part. You are gonig to use pipettes, squirt bottle, etc. to put drops of vinegar on the feathers.
HINT: As kids what will happen before you start.
Thanskgiving Activities for Preschoolers
As you add vinegar (an acid) to the baking soda feathers (a base) a chemical reaction occurs – they make carbon dioxide. CO2 is a gas so the vinegar litterally melts the baking soda into gas.
Baking Soda and Vinegar Reaction
Kids go nuts over this super simle, but educational activity!
November Activities for Preschoolers
You will see some fun bubbling from the dish soap and all you will be left with on the plate is the food coloring and vinegar.
