====Procedure====  
  - Place cardstock or watercolor paper on a tray or baking sheet.
  - In small cups, mix baking soda with a few drops of liquid watercolors or food coloring.
  - Add a small amount of water and stir to make a thick, paintable paste.
  - Use paint brushes to paint designs and shapes onto the paper.
  - Encourage mixing of colors and different brush strokes.
  - Fill pipettes with vinegar.
  - Drip vinegar onto the painted areas and observe the bubbling and color movement.

====Variations====
  * Try thicker or thinner baking soda mixtures to compare bubbling effects.
  * Create themed artwork such as rainbows, fireworks, or abstract designs.
  * Scale up to a larger sheet of paper for group demonstrations.


====Safety Precautions====
  * Safety glasses recommended to protect eyes from splashes.
  * Use trays to contain spills and reduce mess.
  * Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
  * Wash hands after the activity.
  * Adult supervision required for young children.

====Questions to Consider====
  * What causes the bubbling when vinegar is added? (An acid-base reaction produces carbon dioxide gas.)
  * Why do the colors spread and mix during the reaction? (Gas bubbles push the liquid pigments outward.)
  * How does changing the amount of vinegar affect the reaction? (More vinegar produces more bubbles until the baking soda is used up.)
  * Is this a physical change or a chemical change? (Chemical change, because new substances are formed.)
