St. Patrick's Day has so many fun symbols! Use them to explore a popular chemical reaction with baking soda and vinegar and do some quick and simple fizzy St. Patrick's Day science!

Are you familiar with the baking soda and vinegar reaction? It’s so simple, but it truly never gets old.

E is 5, we’ve been doing activities like these since she was only 2 years old, and she still has a blast every time. Now that N at 19 months is big enough to join in, it’s twice as much fun as a sibling activity.

This time, we did some simple Fizzy St. Patrick’s Day Science with baking soda, yellow and green vinegar in squeeze bottles, and additional St. Patrick’s Day themed items.

Here’s our list of Fizzy Experiments Your Kids Will Love.

Materials for Fizzy St. Patrick’s Day Science

  • Baking soda. {Yes, we definitely buy the big bag every time šŸ™‚ }
  • Vinegar.
  • Fizzy tub colors, liquid watercolors or food coloring.
  • Squeeze bottles.
  • St. Patrick’s Day-themed items. We had gold coins, foam shamrocks, green shot glasses with shamrocks on them, and small green Leprechaun hats.
  • Water table (optional but great for minimizing messes and for sibling play).

E went straight for the yellow squeezy bottle.

N did a little squeezing, too, but he was more interested in the gold coins. {He already knew about them from the Valentine’s Treasure Dig he did a couple of weeks ago, but this time, he spent a lot more time exploring them, putting them into the shot glasses, and taking them out again.}

Once the yellow squeeze bottle was empty, E switched to the green one – and poured the vinegar into shot glasses before pouring it out on top of the baking soda.

There wasn’t enough vinegar to flood the bottom compartment of the water table, and when the green bottle was empty, E started playing with the moist baking soda.

As usual, her play eventually turned to baking and cooking. This time, she made “drinks”. {Yes, she always dresses herself and has absolutely no problem rocking her Santa t-shirt in February šŸ˜‰ }

In the meantime, N decided that the activity needed pinecones. Lots of them šŸ™‚
