We have a lot of a science activities in our classroom for our MWF classes. The past few weeks, we have had 'Magic Potions' at the science table. This is always a popular activity especially when a student finds the 'magic powder' that goes with the 'magic liquid' to make magic!
I have used this activity for many years in a variety of ways. I have simplified the process, the cost and the mess! I used to use a variety of kitchen type liquids (oil, corn syrup, etc). This year I just colored water and the vinegar (the magic liquids). Magic powders are sugar, flour and baking soda. We have newspaper covering the table because it is a pretty wet experiment and cups are placed inside a small tray because when the magic happens it can overflow!
