Experiment with explosion variables
There are so many things you can use to make an explosion! Try mixing food coloring or paint with vinegar before adding baking soda. If you don't have vinegar, try mixing baking soda with orange juice, lemon juice or ketchup instead. If you don't have baking soda, you can use seashells! Yes, shells from the sea. Drop some into vinegar, stand back, and let the magic happen.
