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.

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.
