Fizzy Pumpkin Cups: A Simple & Spooky Science Activity for Halloween

Get ready for a spooktacular and simple science activity this Halloween! Our fizzy pumpkin cups are an almost mess-free experiment that's perfect for kids and adults alike. Let's dive into the bubbly fun!

To create our fizzy pumpkin cups, we drew a friendly pumpkin face on a plastic cup. Then, we set up a classic baking soda and vinegar reaction inside. When we added the vinegar, the orange foam fizzed up, perfectly framing our pumpkin face.

We decided to add a twist to one of our cups. We poured in some washing-up liquid, or dish soap, to see the difference it would make. As expected, the left cup became more foamy than the right, creating a delightful contrast.

The fizzy pumpkin cups are a fun and engaging way to teach kids about chemical reactions. While the exact origin of these 'Fizzy' experiments isn't clear, they're a popular way to make learning about chemistry interactive and enjoyable. So, grab your cups and get ready for a fizz-tastic Halloween!
