HOW TO…
MAKE EXPLODING PAINT BOMBS
Practical projects to try at home
This chemical reaction creates a unique piece of art
1 SOURCE YOUR
MATERIALS
You’ll need film canisters with lids for this experiment. If you can’t find film canisters, you can try any small plastic containers with a lid. You can use one and repeat for each colour or use multiple canisters to see every colour explode at once.
2 LOAD THE
ANISTERS
Pour a different colour of paint into each of the canisters. You don’t need much paint – the paint line should measure about one centimetre from the bottom of the canister.
