Hello! Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be continuing the series titled “Pinterest Hits and Misses”. Today instead of doing a recipe or craft I did a science experiment! (ooohh)
The science experiment I did was called “fireworks in a cup”. This of course is supposed to be for kids, but I find amusement in most everything so I figured why not? All the pins made this science experiment look totally awesome! The pins stated wild claims such as: “my kids loved it!” “we do this once a week!” “its just so easy!”. So of course I was very intrigued. I read all the directions top to bottom (twice) and was determined to make this science experiment work! The directions were simple: get a warm cup of water and set it aside, then get a cup and put a few tablespoons of oil (any type) in side the cup and put multiple drops of different color food coloring inside the cup with oil. After this was completed all you had to was simply stir the cup of oil and dye up and put it in the warm water. This was supposed to make some sort of reaction that made the cup look like it had fireworks in it.
Well.. okay. I definitely wouldn’t say this made “fireworks” but the end result was cool!. I will say that it did indeed was fun but the only color that appeared in my finished product was green and I was told I would see all 4 of the colors I placed in the oil. I will admit the experiment was super easy and the end outcome looked neat, but it wasn’t anywhere near the finish product I was told I would receive. So for those reasons I will have to call this one a MISS as well. But who knows, maybe this was just user error? It did look cool and is worth a try but I was missing the “fireworks” aspect. I was really hoping this would work out and based on many pictures it has for many people! So I encourage you to try it and let me know how it worked! It could have just been me! I will insert a picture below to show you my finished outcome.
Thank you all for reading! I will be posting again on Monday and will be posting more on this series soon! I am hoping to find something that I would call a HIT!! See you soon!
