This is a classic homemade Volcano experiment updated with fruit and color to make it an ultimate summer science activity for kids.

Start by scooping out your watermelon and setting that aside for snack time. We all love sweet and juicy watermelon on a hot summer day, so don’t waste that yummy watermelon.

Watermelon Volcano Baking Soda and Vinegar Science Experiment

For these fun watermelon science activities all you need is two to three simple kitchen ingredients.

Baking Soda

Vinegar

and food color (if you want to have it colored – kids love the color)

Have your children add the baking soda to the bottom of your watermelon and let them go to town pouring their cups of vinegar into the watermelon. We like to add a wooden spoon or scooper to the table for the children to be able to enjoy mixing it afterward and continuing to explore what will happen as they play and add more of the ingredients.

Children can spend an hour playing like this and experimenting with their erupting watermelon.
