It's always a good idea to do something exciting especially after a break from school. Today in Science class my students were totally enthralled by the gassy balloon experiment.
It provided a good hands-on experience to learn how a gas is formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
Scientific explanation:
Vinegar is an acid, baking soda is a base, and when mixed together they create an acid-base reaction. In this case, the reaction created a gas called carbon dioxide. Gases need room to expand, so once the carbon dioxide filled the bottle, it moved into the balloon and inflated it.
