fireworks right in a jar

If you’re looking for a “Fireworks in a Jar” recipe — a fun and safe science activity that visually mimics fireworks using household items — here’s how you can do it:

🎆 Fireworks in a Jar Recipe (Science Experiment)

🧪 Materials:

• A clear glass jar or tall glass

• Warm water

• Vegetable oil

• Food coloring (multiple colors work best)

• A fork or spoon

• A small bowl

🧭 Instructions:

1. Fill the jar about ¾ full with warm water.

2. In a small bowl, add 3–4 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

3. Add several drops of food coloring to the oil. Use different colors for the best effect.

4. Use a fork to gently stir the oil and food coloring for a few seconds. The food coloring won’t dissolve in the oil but will break into smaller drops.

5. Slowly pour the oil and food coloring mixture into the jar of warm water.

6. Watch the show! 🎇
   The food coloring will slowly sink and mix with the water, creating colorful “fireworks” as it disperses.

🔬 How It Works:

• Oil and water don’t mix, so the colored oil stays on top.

• Food coloring is water-based, so when it sinks through the oil and hits the water, it begins to dissolve, creating that firework effect.
