A pile of snow doesn't usually stay a pile of snow for long. Children pat it into shape, smooth the sides, and proudly step back to admire what they've built. Then someone wonders what would happen if it erupted. The vinegar disappears into the center, and for just a moment, nothing changes. Then colorful bubbles begin pushing their way through the snow. Foam spills over the sides. Bright colors spread across the white surface. Before long, children are gathering more snow, wondering if a taller volcano, a different color, or another splash of vinegar might create an even bigger eruption. That's what makes this Snow Volcano so memorable. It transforms an ordinary pile of snow into an unforgettable winter science experiment that children can't wait to build, erupt, and create all over again. If your child can't get enough of fizzing reactions, explore our Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiments for Kids collection for dozens more creative eruptions, bubbling discoveries...
