we did a little non-toxic chemistry experiment. One that I do frequently when I clean, actually. the boys mixed baking soda and vinegar to see what would happen. while this is non-toxic, It can be messy, so we went outside in case of "explosion".
Instructions:
- Using a funnel, put 1 Tbsp. baking soda in a latex balloon.
- again using the funnel, pour 1C. white vinegar into a clean 20oz soda bottle.
- place the opening of the balloon over the neck of the bottle while keeping the balloon itself to the side - keeping the baking soda in.
- have your child keep one hand on the neck of the bottle and lift the balloon up with the other.
- watch as the solid dissolves in the liquid and the reaction makes a gas that bubbles, fizzes and blows up the balloon!
