Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment...

It's a "Turkey" Feathers Thanksgiving STEM Challenge! Thanksgiving is next week but (I don't know if I should admit this...) I've already started decorating for Christmas! I still have some scarecrows and pumpkins out, but I love the Christmas season soooo much! This morning, however, my girls informed me that we need to do more Thanksgiving activities and science projects. After all, Thanksgiving comes before Christmas! I had to start thinking up new science experiments for the season. Luckily, I had these awesome feathers from Craft Project Ideas, and we've had chemistry on the brain, so I put this Thanksgiving STEM challenge together in about 45 seconds! Simple Supplies:  * "turkey" (craft) feathers * a bowl of water If you don't have the feathers on hand, paperclips or pompoms also work, though the effect is most dramatic with the feathers! In fact, you could totally do this with a bird theme in the spring or sum...
