  • Food colouring (any colour)

  • Popsicle stick

  • Dish soap

  • Tray (to catch the reaction, such as a pie plate or cookie

    it over and cut out the core and place on the tray.

  • Use the stick to muddle the lemon, causing it to become juicy.

  • Keep the reaction going by adding more juice, soap and baking soda.
