Rosie Makes Foaming Witch’s Brew – No Peroxide
Grade Happy Halloween! Let’s dive into the world of spooky science where magical spells are actually chemical reactions. When you mix different things and they change to make something new, that’s a chemical reaction at work. Take baking soda and citric acid: mix them together and you’ll see them dance into a bubbly potion because of the reaction between a base and an acid. Add this to milk, and voila! You get a fast-rising, creamy milk foam, perfect for Halloween concoctions. But guess what?
These reactions aren’t just for Halloween; they’re all around us! When your bread turns golden-brown in the toaster or when your green banana becomes yellow, you’re witnessing everyday magic, all thanks to chemical reactions. So whether it’s in a witch’s cauldron or your kitchen, remember, it’s not just magic—it’s chemistry!
Required Materials
- 1 Witch’s Caldron
- 1 Packet of Picot (Baking Soda + Citric Acid)
- 1/2 a cup milk
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1
Preparation: Place your mini cauldron in the center of the provided tray. This will be the stage for our magical brew!
Step 2
Add the Magic Dust: Carefully sprinkle some Picot (that’s our baking soda and citric acid mix) into the cauldron. This is the first part of our spell!
Step 3
Pour in the Potion: Slowly pour the milk into the cauldron, right on top of the Picot. Watch closely!
Step 4
Witness the Magic: Observe the frothy, bubbly, foamy magic happening inside! It’s not just a witch’s brew, but a real chemical reaction right before your eyes!
Step 5
Clean-Up Spell: Once your observation is complete, and you’ve enjoyed the magic, make sure to clean up. Even witches need to keep their potion-making area tidy!
