Product Description

The centerpiece of this kit is a remarkable little plastic tube that looks deceptively like a test tube. It has the same shape as a test tube and almost the same uses as a test tube but it’s original use is not that of a test tube. Well, not as you might expect anyway. It’s reusable, washable, and almost indestructible. Students use their skills of observation and exploration to conduct experiments in bubbling, color-changing liquids, changes in density, and environmental science using Baby Soda Bottles.

The kit includes supplies for 24 students working in groups to perform activities including: color mixing, bubbling potions, topsy turvy density tubes, and the packing peanut challenge.

Recommended for children ages 4 and up.

Activity guide

There are enough materials for 24 students to each have a Baby Soda Bottle and the necessary supplies to conduct each of the experiments. The kit introduces super-size, unbreakable test tubes that are perfect for young scientists.

How Does It Work?

Baby Soda Bottle test tubes are great for encouraging kids to explore and create results on their own. Each test tube measures 15 cm (5.75″) tall, 2.5 cm (1″) in diameter and holds approximately 60 mL (2 ounces) of liquid. Baby Soda Bottles™ can be used to teach kids more things than you can imagine! Grow plants, observe critters, collect water samples, explore different densities, hydrate polymer crystals, and mix all the colors you can find in a rainbow. Kids are only limited by their own creativity—put one of these test tubes in their hands and they’ll be sure to discover something new!
