SCIENCE



Time for experiment fun

 

Learning about fizz through experimenting, added some baking soda to very hot water and watched as the baking soda fizzed when it got hot.

 

Pictures don't show it very well but the baking soda fizzed as soon as we poured it into the very hot water. 

 


Gas experiment using balloons, a jar, baking soda, and vinegar.  We poured some vinegar into the jar and then poured some baking soda into the balloons.  Then we stretched the neck of the balloon on to the top of the jar without spilling any baking soda into the jar.  Once the balloon was on the jar the kids then lifted the balloon so the baking soda could drop into the jar.  As soon as the baking soda fell into the vinegar (reacted) the carbon dioxide gas filled the balloon, filled it up a little.  The kids were very surprised with this experiment.

 


The kids wanted to continue with the fizz experiment so we made volcanoes, they even wanted to wear their goggles.....safety first.

       

This experiment never gets old, always so much fun.
