STEM/Experiment: Lemon Volcano

Objective: This fun and educational experiment will demonstrate the chemical reaction that occurs when an acid (lemon) and a base (baking soda) interact.

Ingredients:

• 1 Large lemon
• 1 tbsp Baking soda
• 1 pinch of Dish soap (optional)
• Food coloring (optional)
• Knife
• Small cup or dish for holding baking soda
• Small tray or dish to catch the 'eruption'

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the lemon

• Cut the top off one lemon and slightly cut off the bottom as well, to make it stable on a flat surface.
• With the help of an adult, use the knife to poke and mash up the insides a bit, to release some juice but keeping the structure of the lemon intact.

Step 2: Set up the experiment

• Place the prepared lemon on a stable flat surface, preferably within a tray or dish that can catch the 'eruption'.
• In a separate dish, prepare the baking soda. If you'd like to make your volcano colorful, mix a few drops of food coloring into the baking soda.

Step 3: Trigger the eruption

• Spoon the baking soda into the lemon.
• If you're using dish soap, you can add a small drop to the mix. This will make the eruption a bit more bubbly and dramatic.
• Now, sit back and watch the reaction!

Note: This experiment is safe and non-toxic. However, as with all activities involving small objects, adult supervision is highly recommended to ensure safety.
