Description: This was the first time I tried the Elephants toothpaste experiment. It’s not actual elephants toothpaste. In reality it’s a mixture of strong hydrogen peroxide mixed with a catalyst potassium iodide along with some food coloring and dish soap. It’s called elephants toothpaste because it looks like the amount of toothpaste an elephant would use if an elephant actually used toothpaste. The reaction releases a ton of oxygen and the dish soap traps it and turns it into hot bubbles. Once it cools down you can even touch it! How was it for the first try? #Shorts
