Gettin' Gassy - the GOOD Kind of Gas!

Right now, our science studies consist of making things happen through experiments. What' better than changing color, blowing things up, and other things like that?

So here's what we did on Friday...

We used one glass bottle, put about 1/2 cup of vinegar inside, filled a balloon halfway with baking soda and attached it to the bottle.

As we lifted the balloon, the baking soda dropped into the bottle and the resulting gas blew up the balloon!

So what happened? The vinegar reacted with the baking soda creating a carbon dioxide gas. The gas inflated the balloon.


It was a quick reaction and the kids definitely loved it!
