This experiment uses a yeast solution, liquid detergent such as Dawn, and hydrogen peroxide to produce an exciting reaction like no other! The result will send a stream of foam shooting up out of a bottle and, after a minute or so, begin turns into a moving stream that resembles toothpaste being squeezed from a tube.

We had our second VBS decorating night! Thanks to all who came out to help! Atoms and molecules are exploding everywhere and DNA is strung as high as the eye can see! We have one more night to get the church ready, so we hope you’ll come out Thursday night from 6-9 to help us create a building that is exploding with fun!
To our wonderful volunteers~ you are making this year such a joyful experience! Thanks!

When this happens, the entire object takes on an electric charge. The term static electricity describes situations where objects carry electric charge. And by using static electricity generated from their body, a child can cause a small fluorescent lamp bulb to light up!
