Parshas Veaira ~ Foaming Barad
Hello everyone!
Welcome back to Parsha Studio. Today we will be discussing Parshas Vaeiara.
In this week’s Parsha, we learn that Moshe asked Pharaoh to allow the Jewish people to leave Egypt. However, Pharaoh refused. As a result, Hashem sent ten plagues to persuade him to let the Jewish people go. One of these plagues was the Makka of Barad, which means hail. These hailstones were made of ice and fire and showed Hashem’s power.
Today, we will conduct a fun science experiment that demonstrates the Makka of Barad. We will use foam, baking soda, red food coloring, and water to create a Barad mixture. After freezing the mixture, we will add it to a soap and water solution that has been colored with food coloring. Finally, we will add vinegar to the mixture, causing the Barad to explode in the water.
I hope you are excited to join in on this cool science experiment!
