Forensic Witch's Potion

The girls got to make witch's potions, but to make it more of an experiment, we did forensics with it too.  I split the girls into three groups and each group got four powders.  Some vinegar was put into four separate beakers for each group and the girls were able to test the different powders and record how they react.  Then I had the girls guess what each of the powders were.  Once they figured out which powder was the baking powder, they were given jars filled half full of vinegar, they added food coloring and glitter, as well as a few squirts of dish soap.  Two spoon fulls of baking soda were added next, and they girls were able to watch the colorful reaction.
