I know what you are all thinking, elephant toothpaste? No, it is not toothpaste to brush elephants’ teeth. but it is a science experiment guaranteed to get you an A+. People have used this for years as a way to entertain themselves, but now everyone is using it to experiment with it and get good grades and if you want to learn how to do it, well here is the right place to learn it from. Now first, I want to say that parental advisory is needed if a child is doing this, also it has many chemicals and can injure eyes if you stand too close. This is also not for consumption. Now lets get on with the project.
What you will need:
* 1/2 cup of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide liquid (20-volume is also a 6% solution, this can be found at a beauty supply store)
*1 Tablespoon of dry yeast
*3 Tablespoons of warm water
*Liquid dish washing soap
*Food coloring (optional, it just adds awesomeness)
What to do:
*Put on gloves and goggles because like I said before, it can burn the eyes and bleach certain fabrics.
* Pour hydrogen peroxide in the bottle (using a funnel or something funnel-like can work better).
* Add 5-10 drops of food coloring in the bottle.
*Add about 1 tablespoon of dish soap in the bottle then mix it by swishing it around.
*Mix the warm water add yeast in a separate small cup with a spoon for about 30 seconds (this activates the yeast).
*Remove any large lumps that are in the yeast.
Pour the mixture in the bottle, then stand back fast.
Well, there is your own homemade elephant toothpaste, and you can also make a Paper Mache volcano and make elephant toothpaste in there to make it look like lava and that’s something creative. Hope you enjoyed this, Bye!!
