Harry Potter Pop Rocks Potion

Thursday, October 28, 2010

1.  Fill Test Tube half way with H2O
2.  Pour in the Pop Rocks and you will hear the popping sounds as it releases the essence of euphoria,(CO2 or Carbon Dioxide).
"Pop Rocks, let me hear, the future is near!"
3.  Pour in a teaspoon of the crystalline powder (NaHCO3).Bakers use this chemical compound to make their bread spirits raise.
"Give me a notion of the Pop Rocks potion!"
4.  Add a few drops of food coloring.
"The professors are strange, let the color change!"
5.  Squeeze Lemon (Citric Acid, C6H8O7) into the concoction,watch the potion bubble up and fizz out of control.
"Lemon so tart, make me magically smart!”
6.  Add sugar.   As you add this last ingredient, make up your own phrase to activate the Potion.Ex: 
 "I drink this potion to make me fast in motion!"
7. Drink if you dare!


Awsumb was so excited to do this little experiment at his birthday party.  We used baby soda bottles which can be found on Steve Spangler's Website.  You have probably seen him on You Tube - Coke and Mentos explosion guy?!  We did this experiment at Awsumb's Birthday Party and the kids loved it!   Then all the kids were sent home with their sticky test tubes!
And what Halloween would be complete without Awsumb's Halloween by Jerry Seinfeld!



Check back later this weekend for the most Totally Awsumb Harry Potter Birthday Ideas Ever!
