Kitchen Science Lab for Kids: 52 Family Friendly Experiments from Around the House (Hands-On Family)
Fizzy BalloonsFizzy Balloons!
Watch a bubbly chemical reaction inflate a balloon with invisible carbon dioxide gas.
The Science Behind the Fun:
The scientific name for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Kitchen vinegar is diluted acetic acid. When mixed together, these two chemicals react to form some new chemicals, including carbon dioxide gas, which inflates the balloon. We know a reaction is happening because we can see bubbles forming, the bottle feels cold, and the balloon inflates with the invisible gas.
Protocol:
Step 1: Pour 1/3 cup vinegar into the soda bottle. Step 2: Hold the mouth of the balloon open and use a spoon to pour 3 tsp. or so of baking soda into the balloon. This takes two people, one to hold the balloon open and one to add the soda. Step 3: Shake the soda down into the “bulb” or the main part of the balloon. Carefully stretch the mouth of the balloon completely over the mouth of the bottle, keeping the main part of the balloon off to one side, so the baking soda isn’t dumped into the bottle until you’re ready. Step 4: Holding the mouth of the balloon on the bottle, shake the soda into the bottle, all at once.
Materials:
Liz Lee Heinecke has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. After working in molecular biology research for 10 years and earning her master’s degree, she left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon, she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, chronicling their science adventures on her KitchenPantryScientist website. Her desire to share her enthusiasm for science led to regular television appearances, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app. Her goal is to make it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. Liz graduated from Luther College and received her master’s degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids, Kitchen Science Lab for Kids: Edible Edition, Outdoor Science Lab for Kids, and STEAM Lab for Kids.
