Do You Want To Build A STEM Snowman?
Recipe:
What you need:
2 cups baking soda
1 teaspoon Dish Soap (like Dawn liquid dish soap)
2 Tablespoons of salt
8 Tablespoons of water
A big dish, pan, or other container to contain the mess (I like using a big plastic lid
I saved that came from one of those disposable turkey baking pans)
A couple of cups of vinegar (I used distilled white vinegar)
Add-ons to make your snowman’s fabulous features (carrot nose, chocolate chip
eyes, etc.) : )
What to do:
In your waterproof container, combine the baking soda and salt and mix well. Add
in the soap; thoroughly combining the ingredients with your hands until it becomes
a crumbly dough-like substance.
Add the water. The dough is ready if it can be formed into a ball, but if it is still
to dry add 1 Tablespoon of water at a time until it can hold the form of a ball.
Make your snowman and decorate him. Now you are ready for some foaming,
snowman “melting” action! Put vinegar into a squirt bottle, or other squirting device
and squirt away at the snowman. It works best if you add lots of vinegar at once to
create the biggest reaction
