Fizzy colors


Looking for a good experiment for Jr. scientist E, at my wife's suggestion I went back to an old fizzy standard - mixing baking soda and vinegar. To make it more interesting, I put down a drop of red food coloring and a drop of blue food coloring, with the baking soda and vinegar in the middle. As the fizzy mess spread, it took up the food coloring. Jr. scientist E just stared intently at the bubbly concoction (I think with interest!), getting transfixed each time I added more baking soda or vinegar to restart the fizzing.
