Experiments

On Thursday the 14 of November Team 12 did an experiment block. Our first experiment was we had 3 quarters of a small glass bottle and filled a balloon with baking soda and carefully placed it on the bottle. IT WORKED!! the balloon blew up and the co2 (carbon dioxide) had pushed into the balloon and put pressure on it and blew up.  When you touch it it is not soft like a balloon but had pressure on the balloon so Mrs D took the balloon off the bottle and let go it did the same thing as if you blow up a balloon and let go. Experiment 2 what we had to do is blow up a resealable plastic bag. So we put baking soda and vinegar in 2 separate bags and but the bag of baking soda in the bag of vinegar then we taped it shut and shook it around the teacher quickly put it on the ground and BANG! it had popped so far 2 out of 3 experiments had worked. Experiment 3 what we did was the old mentos and coke trick. Accept that we used baking soda and vinegar.So what we did was we got our school caregiver to drill holes in the lid. Then we went to the field and we put baking soda in the bottle and quickly put on the lid and then it became a shower of baking soda and vinegar and everyone enjoyed it by Corban BYE!!! :)
