Spikes on a String

What You Need:

  • 2 plastic cups
  • 6 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 foot length of string
  • 4 cups of water
  • Spoon

Instructions:

  1. Fill each cup with 2 cups of water.
  2. Put 3 teaspoons of baking soda in each cup and stir carefully.
  3. Put one end of the string in each cup and let it sit for 1-2 days.
  4. Soon, you will see the little spikes on the string.

The water travels through the string and brings some of the baking soda with it, which creates the spikes.
