    If we need to choose top 10 most interesting chemical reactions, I think elephant toothpaste must be one of them.
    Elephant toothpaste is a very easy and funny science experiment, which results in a rapid eruption of huge amount of foam. In the past few years, I have performed this experiment with my kids over 50 times.
    Things we need:
    Level 1: beginner level
    -10% hydrogen peroxide
    -food coloring
    -dish soap
    -yeast
    Level2: Intermediate level
    -20% hydrogen peroxide*
    -food coloring
    -dish soap
    -saturated potassium iodide
    Level3: ultimate level
    -35% hydrogen peroxide*
    -food coloring
    -dish soap
    -saturated potassium iodide
    *20% or above hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive, please wear glove when you deal with it
    Elephant toothpaste is the decomposition process of hydrogen peroxide, while yeast / potassium iodide works as a catalyst to break down the hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Soap will then mixed with the oxygen and water, which turn into foam.
