With this experiment you start off with a bar of Ivory soap. We cut ours in half. That way we were able to do the experiment twice. We put on paper plate. Then we discussed why Ivory soap was important to use for this experiment. Ivory soap is the only soap that floats. Why? they whip their soap to make it full of air.
Then we placed in microwave for 30 sec. at a time.. :) It took 3 times (90 sec.) to get rid of all the bar.
The upper picture is in the microwave. The bottom is when we pulled it out. The content is not wet or gooey. It is just like foam that is hard. It is pretty cool... If you are worried about a mess.. No worries cleans up easy. :)
This is Sid with the first go around. He is silly!!!
Both boys..... Oh my!! don't look at the dirty kitchen. :) Robbie looks as if life is hard at our house. hehehe
If you get a chance to do this experiment it is super fun and easy. Our boys LOVED it!!!! who knew that soap would blow up like this??? ENJOY!!!!

That is crazy! So can you use the soap after you microwave it?
Laurie.. I am not sure.. you could not bath with it.. But maybe if you turned it into laundry soap or something.
