Sizzle, sizzle fizz!  That’s the sound this fun and super easy science project makes!  The other day I was browsing around on Pinterest.com , in what little spare time I have for myself these days, and came across this incredibly colorful science project that included items I already had right in my kitchen.  By simply using baking soda and food coloring we created an afternoon of entertainment.  In fact, my four-year has had so much fun creating a rainbow of colors out of the “white stuff” that she has done this experiment a few times.  She enjoys not only designing a picture by mixing colors to see what other creative colors she can make but also had a blast using her hands and mixing it all around.  She is a very “hands-on” little girl and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty or stain them pink for a few days.  My two-year old son on the other hand was just fine mixing the colors and keeping his hands squeaky clean!  Each time the food coloring hit the baking soda, the kiddos giggled with excitement.  Then I’d hear all sorts of “ohhs” and “ahhs” as the colors would then make sizzling sounds and bubble up.   We tried making mini volcanoes, different colors by mixing the colors we were already using and in general had an afternoon of fun.  This will surely entertain any little scientist!
