Elephant toothpaste

We carried out an experiment today called Elephant Toothpaste! It explored a chemical reaction where yeast was the active ingredient. As soon as the yeast was added to the hydrogen peroxide, dishwashing liquid food colouring and warm water it exploded into this frothing mass of foam.
We were so amazed and excited. It was spectacular!!!
