How Does Baking Soda Paint Work?
The science behind this fall apple art is the chemical reaction that occurs between the baking soda and the vinegar!
Baking soda is a base and vinegar is an acid. When the two combine, they make a gas called carbon dioxide. You can hear the fizz, see the bubbles, and even feel the fizz if you hold your hand close to the surface of the paper. How fun is that!
