Science Experiments at Home for Kids on Frugal Coupon Living. Take a look at the chemical reaction produced from baking soda and vinegar!

Kids Science Experiments at Home | Baking Soda and Vinegar

Pin to Pinterest

The kids and I love to do crafts at home. Sometimes they enjoy it a little bit more than me! However, I try to be a good mother and do what I can to create excitement at home that is minimal and is an easy clean up. The former teacher in me, also makes sure the activity has some education involved. This baking soda and vinegar experiment is creative, crafty and something you as a mother can walk away from as they have fun playing with the patterns and colors – I think you can get away with telling them it is art!

So a quick description so you and your child understand what is going on. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) react with each other because of an acid-base reaction. One of the products this reaction creates is carbon dioxide, which creates all the fizzing as it escapes the solution.

Hey Mom! Did you know that you can unclog a drain with baking soda and vinegar! Pour a pot of boiling hot water down your drain and then ad about 1/2 cup of baking soda. Let that sit for a bit. After, pour 1 cup vinegar and 1 cup very hot water. Cover your drain with a plug to keep the chemical reaction going down. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes and flush out with more hot boiling water!

Baking Soda and Vinegar

Supplies:


Directions:

  1. Separate your baking soda evenly into 3 bowls, 1 cup in each.
  2. Add several drops of food coloring to each bowl to turn each cup of baking soda a different color.
  3. Mix your baking soda and food coloring together, you will have to use your fingertips as the food coloring tends to clump together.
  4. Pour your colored baking soda into your baking pan and lightly shake the pan so it spreads out evenly.
  5. Place your straw into your bottle of vinegar, place your finger tip on the top of the straw to hold the vinegar inside the straw, lift over to the pan of baking soda, and release your finger.
  6. You will notice the reaction of the vinegar combining with the baking soda.

Extension:

When baking soda and vinegar are combined they create an chemical reaction. Baking soda is a bicarbonate and vinegar is an acetic acid it creates carbon dioxide and water.

Have the kids place the vinegar where the colors connect too, do they mix together and make new colors?

Lobster Rolls

Pin to Pinterest

Lobster Rolls are one of those meals that you typically have while you’re at a restaurant and craving a good comfort meal. Although, you may only have them when you’re out of town, close to the coast. Either way, Lobster Rolls are really easy to make so, you can enjoy them at home anytime with this easy, delicious recipe!  The slightly sweet and buttery lobster paired with the tangy lemon, creamy mayo and crunchy celery and spices topped on a buttery toasted bun. Perfection! You’ll think you were in Maine! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 (7 oz.) Lobster Tails
  • 4 Hotdog Buns (you can also use slider buns)
  • ½ Cup Spectrum Canola Mayonnaise
  • ½ Cup Celery
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 1 tbsp. Fresh Squeezed Organic Lemon Juice
  • 4 tbsp. Melted Organic Butter
  • ½ tsp. Simply Organic Onion Powder
  • Salt & Pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven at 250 degrees F.
  2. Fill a medium pot about 2/3 of the way with water. Bring to boil. Add lobster tails. You will notice that the shells will begin to turn red almost immediately. Boil for approximately 8-10 minutes. The lobster tails will become slightly curled. Remove lobster tails from water. Set aside on cutting board and let cool.
  3. Dice the celery and garlic clove into small pieces. Slice the lemon in half. Set aside.
  4. Using scissors, cut down the center of each shell. With your fingers, pull the shell away until it breaks away from the meat. Do this until the shell is completely removed from the meat. Discard shell. Chop the lobster into small pieces.
  5. Add 3 tbsp. butter to small microwavable bowl. Microwave for 1 minute or until butter is melted.
  6. Toss chopped lobster in butter. Add onion powder, chopped garlic, lemon juice, chopped celery and mayonnaise to bowl. Stir well with spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Toast 4 buns in oven at 250 degrees for 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven.
  8. Add lobster mixture to each bun.
  9. Heat 1 tbsp. butter in small microwavable bowl. Take an unused paintbrush and brush the melted butter onto each bun. Not only will this increase its flavor value, but it will glisten!
  10. Now grab a blanket and take your picnic outside! Enjoy one of the most beloved foods of every seaside resident – best served with tortilla or potato chips and an ice-cold beer or a nice pop!
