DS is in the Boy Scouts and at last nights meeting of the wolves, they did this experiment... They were learning about "chemical reactions"... it's a pretty good one and I thought I would share it with you...
Items Needed:
- balloon
- empty, dry, 2 liter bottle
- baking soda
- vinegar
- tissue
How-To's:
Fill the 2-liter bottle about 1/3 with vinegar. Place several tablespoons of baking soda into the balloon. Stretch the mouth of the balloon to cover the mouth of the bottle. Pull the balloon up so that all the baking sodainside falls into the bottle and watch the balloon get full of air... (you can even place a rubber band around the neck of the balloon / bottle to hold it in place)... Balloon will inflate from exhaust created from baking soda and vinegar...
DS couldn't wait to come home and do it again for me and DD...
We did that one here this year. It was a hit with my guys.

We're doing that tomorrow--thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThe kids did that experiment on Thanksgiving. DS2 noticed his aunt had some baking soda. Next thing you know, they had a huge mess all over the kids table. They had fun. Problem was, he put the vinegar in the balloon and didn't hold it to the side when he put it on. After about five tries, he got it right.
ReplyDeleteMy kids like cinnamon in their waffles. I've not tried the chocolate chip yet. I'll have to do some of those. Thanks for the idea/recipe.
