What’s fizzier<\/a>: Limeade or Orangeade? Try this fun kitchen science experiment<\/a> to find out. It’s chemistry you can sip!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n We had so much fun making old-fashioned lemonade<\/a> last week, that we ran out of lemons! But it got us thinking – can you use a similar acid-base reaction to make fizzy drinks with other citrus fruits? We had some limes and oranges in our fruit bowl, so we decided to find out!<\/p>\n We happened to do this in our backyard, as it was a warm autumn day and we’re trying to make the most of the sunshine. But you can totally do this in your kitchen too – actually, it would make a fun rainy day activity<\/a> for those days when you’re stuck indoors… Comparing the fizziness of homemade drinks is a fun kitchen science experiment that you could try with preschoolers<\/a>, kindergarteners<\/a> and primary school aged<\/a> kids. My daughter Bumble Bee was 7.5 years old when we gave this a go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Note: Baking soda is also called bicarb soda, bicarbonate of soda, sodium bicarbonate, and can be found in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. Baking powder is not the same as baking soda<\/em><\/strong>, and should not be used as a substitute in this recipe – unless you want to make a comparison of baking soda and baking powder part of the experiment of course!<\/p>\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
