Elephant's Toothpaste!

Help me give my students hydrogen peroxide to create elephant's toothpaste with our entire middle school!

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $228 goal

My Project

Our middle-school students are curious about the world around them, and our science teachers wish to do an elephant's toothpaste lab with our entire school!

If funded, this project would provide hydrogen peroxide for us to use with elephant's toothpaste eruptions completed with all of our 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-grade science students!

We will have the older students teaching the younger students about chemical reactions, and then plan to take all the students outside to do the large eruptions as a school-wide activity. We have all the other reactants but the hydrogen peroxide is outside of our budget capacity, so this project would fund us with peroxide for multiple reactions!
