Learning About Stomach Acid - And Being Able To DRINK It!

Layna came over and brought an experiment kit for the girls. This cool thing teaches about how digestion works and shows acid in the stomach - and the gross stuff that comes out of the stomach. But with this particular kit, you can, if you are brave enough, DRINK the "gross stuff" that comes out of the stomach.

This experiment was done after they had made themselves a crown to wear!

Here, they are adding the ingredients so that once the two waters are pumped through to be mixed, the liquid travels to the stomach and then begins foaming in the stomach. When the stomach is full, it empties in a flask. The concoction (completely safe), is ready to taste test. Both of the girls said it had a raspberry flavor to it but a very sour taste. No one wanted more than a small sip! But they LOVE playing with the mechanics of the small stomach model!

 

Thanks to Layna's mother-in-law for sending this neat experiment over to the girls. They have definitely enjoyed it so far!
