Science Corner - Aquafaba

Join us for an exploration of Aquafaba, where kids will learn how to turn the liquid from a can of chickpeas into a light, fluffy foam! In this class, we’ll dive into the science of trapping air bubbles and how a simple whisk or mixer can transform this surprising ingredient. With the help of cream of tartar and a splash of food colouring, kids will see firsthand how air gets captured in the liquid, creating a fun and colourful foam that’s as exciting to make as it is to see.

Supplies List:

• 1 can chickpea liquid (we just need the liquid)
• Food coloring
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• Whisk or mixer
• Bowl for mixing

Note to parents: Parents are responsible for keeping their children safe. While parents are not permitted to actively be on camera and participate in class parents are always welcome to be nearby to support learners and during Science Corner, it's requested that parents stay with young learners to help them through each experiment. Also, note that while each class is scheduled for 25 min, Science Corner classes may end early depending on how quickly learners move through the experiments.
