A small/medium sized pumpkin with the lid cut off and the insides scooped out into a separate bowl (we will use all of these parts during class). 1 part baking soda to 2 parts white vinegar ( the amounts will depend on the size of your pumpkin, you will need enough vinegar to fill your pumpkin for the explosion to overflow!) A tray to put the pumpkin on to catch the messy explosion Food coloring (optional)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
