Elephant toothpaste is a fun science experiment that shows a rapid chemical reaction. By mixing hydrogen peroxide and dish soap with a catalyst, such as yeast, the hydrogen peroxide quickly breaks down into water and oxygen gas. The dish soap traps the gas, creating a massive, bubbly eruption that looks like toothpaste big enough for an elephant!
