To make a fizzing potion, you'll need several glass jars or vials of various sizes. You'll also need liquid dishwashing soap, white vinegar, baking soda, a spoon, food coloring, glitter, and other mix-in options for your potions. Have the kids make their potions on a large tray, like a baking sheet, so that the fizz will be contained easily. For a more authentic potion-making session, transfer your ingredients into plain glass jars and create labels for them with creative alternative names. For example, you could put the dishwashing soap into a glass vial and label it "enchanted syrup." If you don't have liquid dishwashing soap, you could also use shavings of bar soap for the same effect. It's a good idea to wear clothes that you wouldn't mind getting dirty when making potions, just in case something splashes onto you!

Q: Go to the grocery store and buy a liter or two of plain soda water. Look for a brand that doesn't contain sugar or any other additives. All you need is plain, carbonated water. If you have a carbonation machine at home, there's no need to get carbonated water at the store. You can also buy "sparkling water" - sometimes soda water goes by that name. Would you like to make a fruity flavor, or something a little richer? The sky's the limit when it comes to making your own soda. Choose one of these delicious flavors, or make up your own: Lemon lime. This classic flavor combination is refreshing, and even more so when you create it yourself using fresh limes and lemons. Vanilla cream. Another soda counter favorite, this smooth, rich soda is delicious any time of year. You'll need whipping cream and vanilla extract. Chocolate. Chocolate soda is surprisingly easy to make - all you need is some chocolate syrup, and you're good to go. Tropical punch. Buy some mangoes, pineapples, and kiwis, or skip the whole fruit and just buy a variety of juices to make your tropical soda. The great thing about making your own soda is that you get to choose how sweet to make it. You can stick with plain sugar or go with a different flavor like honey, agave nectar, or even molasses. Choose a sweetener that matches the soda flavor you designed. Soda made with fruit won't need as much sweetener as other types of soda, since the fruit itself provides a lot of the sweetness. Pair vanilla and chocolate sodas with maple syrup for an interesting twist. Make diet soda by using a sugar substitute. Pour the carbonated water into a large pitcher or punch bowl. Add the flavor you chose, whether it's freshly squeezed fruit, chocolate syrup, or cream and vanilla. Mix in some sweetener, then stir the entire concoction with a large spoon. Serve immediately or store in a capped bottle for later use. Taste the soda as you add flavorings and sweetener to determine how much more you want to add. Serve the drink in clear glasses with straws to show off its pretty colors and the sparkling bubbles. Homemade soft drinks make a great party treat.
A: Buy soda water. Decide how to flavor your soda. Choose a sweetener. Mix the soda.

Article: Do this before you put it on your dog. There are many different kinds of electronic remote training collars available and you need to know how to operate the collar before trying it on your dog. Make sure both function before you put them on your dog. Also make sure that the system is turned off and set to the lowest setting before attaching it to a dog. This will assure that you don't shock the dog on accident. Some collars have small prongs that need to touch the skin of the dog, but you don't want them to cause discomfort. Make sure that the collar is tight enough that it won't fall off and that the prongs touch the dog's neck, but don't make it so tight that it is uncomfortable for the dog or restricts its breathing. Do not use the collar right away. Instead, let your dog get used to it. This way, the dog will associate the collar with good times and fun, instead of punishment. The goal behind using an electronic collar is to make the dog think that the negative behavior you are trying to stop is causing the shock, not the collar. If you put the collar on the dog and immediately start shocking it, the dog may quickly figure out that the problem is with the collar. Start at the lowest level of stimulation and observe your dog when you activate it. The dog's ear might twitch or it may move its head as if trying to get away from the collar. If your dog doesn't respond at the lowest stimulation, slowly turn the transmitter to the next level and try again. When you train your dog with an electronic collar, begin with commands the dog is familiar with. Say the command, such as sit or stay, and wait for your dog to respond. If your dog is not paying attention, press the button on your transmitter and repeat the command. Set the transmitter to the lowest level of stimulation your dog reacts to. When you use an electronic collar, you want to train your dog, not hurt him. Praise your dog as soon as it responds. Reward it with a pat, by saying "good dog," or with a special treat. When you train dogs, you want to reinforce their good behavior with a reward. You may use an electronic collar to manage annoying or aggressive behavior. For instance, if your dog digs holes in the backyard whenever you let him outside, be ready to use an electronic collar to train him when you let him out. When the dog begins to dig, or engage in whatever behavior you want to control, activate the transmitter. Do not hold the button down for more than 3 seconds and do not punch it repeatedly. The object is to train your dog, not injure him. Don't let your dog see you. You don't want your dog to know you are causing the unpleasant sensation around its neck when it starts digging. Rather, you want your dog to associate the sensation with the bad behavior.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Read the instructions that come with the collar. Put the batteries in the collar and in the transmitter. Attach the collar to your dog's neck. Have the collar on your dog for a week before turning it on. Begin using your electronic remote training collar. Reinforce commands your dog understands. Control bad behavior.
