1. Instant Snow:<\/strong> Mix together 3 cups of baking soda and a 1\/2 cup of white conditioner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. “Exploding” Hot Cocoa:<\/strong> Pour baking soda into a cup and pour hot cocoa powder mix on top of it. Pour in vinegar and watch it “explode”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Melting Snowmen: <\/strong> Make 3 big “snowballs” out of a mixture of 1\/4 cup water and 1 cup baking soda (add a little more water or baking soda if it’s too wet or too dry). Optional: <\/strong>Add googly eyes if you want, and wrap in cling wrap to hold their shape.

Freeze overnight or at least a couple hours in advance. When you want them to “melt,” squeeze\/pour vinegar on them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. “Exploding” Ice Cream Cones:<\/strong> Scoop baking soda onto cake cones, squeeze some food coloring on top, then squeeze vinegar on top of it and watch the colors “explode”\/bubble over! This is a fun one to do in the summer, too, with an ice cream theme!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your favorite experiments to do in therapy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I love doing simple science activities in therapy– one of the main reasons being that even some of my hardest-to-engage kids would almost always be interested and engage with me in simple science activities like baking soda and vinegar mix variations. Science experiments are a great way to work on turn taking, requesting, core vocabulary […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,40,141],"tags":[140,135],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":665,"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659\/revisions\/665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rockchalkspeechtalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
