Pop Rocks Drink For Kids
STEM Project Or Just For Fun
Have fun with these Pop Rocks drink for kids, when you make them as a STEM project, a mad scientist activity or a Halloween Party.
Making the drinks and watching the chemical reaction is fun, but the potion also tastes good.
The beverages can be made quickly, if you’d like.
Or you can turn this into more of a science experiment for a longer activity.
Kids can try adding more of less of both the Blue Raspberry Torani Syrup and the Green Pop Rocks to each Erlenmeyer flask or beaker.
Then they can add their observations to a log book, noting how the color, taste and bubbling chemical reaction change as they adjust the ingredient amounts.
See if the reaction is the same, when you use different types of chemistry glassware.
The Pop Rocks drinks are fun to serve at a Halloween party or birthday party, since they are so much fun.
You may want to fill the science vials with blue soda for each child and then let them add their own Pop Rocks.
That way they will enjoy being a mad scientist for a moment.
Have fun!
