At our primary school, learning science is not just about reading textbooks—it’s about experiencing it! One of the highlights in our science club this term was the exciting Elephant Toothpaste experiment, and our pupils had a blast (literally)!
Elephant Toothpaste is a popular and safe science experiment that creates a massive, foamy eruption. It’s called “elephant toothpaste” because the final result looks like a giant tube of toothpaste being squeezed—perfect for an elephant!
Hydrogen peroxide (or a safer, diluted version for kids)
Dish soap
Food colouring
Warm water
Yeast (as a catalyst)
A clean plastic bottle
Tray to catch the foam
We started by mixing hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and food colouring in a bottle. Then, we added a quick yeast mixture—and boom! The reaction created a rapid flow of foam that shot out of the bottle and amazed everyone.
This experiment taught our pupils about:
Chemical reactions (how substances change when combined)
Catalysts (how yeast sped up the reaction)
Gas formation (oxygen helped create all that foam!)
Most importantly, it sparked curiosity, laughter, and tons of questions!
