In science this week, we have been discussing the atmosphere and air. We found an easy little science experiment where we could create carbon dioxide using baking soda and vinegar and have the gas that is created blow up a balloon.
First, we filled up a bottle with vinegar. Next, we made a funnel so that we could pour baking soda into the balloon.
Then we fitted the balloon on the bottle and let the baking soda fall in to meet with the vinegar and create the gas, carbon dioxide, which blew into and inflated the balloon.
I bet nobody had to twist your arm to drink a diet coke for the use of the bottle 🙂 Adrianna looks real excited, how fun!
I should mention that she kept the balloon, drew a face on him and named him “bluey”.
We did the experiment twice and the other balloon, a pink one this time, was drawn on and named “pinky”.
I’m sure impressed with this HOME SCHOOL!!!
