Taking the Kitchen Outside Part I

I know I've posted about volcanoes before. Truly, we go through so much vinegar and baking soda in this house... but then I read an article about trying different things mixed in with the baking soda. This mom tried bubble solution, dish soap, and even orange pop and chocolate milk. Well, I wanted to do volcanoes outside since it is finally nice, and I wanted to try this. We used 7-up instead of orange pop, we didn't have chocolate milk and I wasn't sure about doing that out in the sun.... though apparently the chocolate milk was really cool. Anyways... she had actual measurements so I had the boys do all the measuring in the kitchen then we put our cups on a tray and hauled them outside. We used 2 tbsp baking soda and 3/4 cup vinegar for each volcano.

Now, because the pop, bubbles, and dish soap do different things a smart mama would have labelled the cups with a dry erase marker so that for next time we can just play with the most epic volcano... but I didn't. So we will just have to try this again.
