Bubble Bomb Experiment

Learning Intention:   W.a.l.t to conduct, observe and record experiments

Hypothesis/Prediction: (What do you think will happen?) I think its going to pop like a water balloon.

Equipment/Materials Needed: Vinegar Baking soda Paper towel Zip lock bag

Method/Steps: 1. Put a table spoon of baking soda inside a paper towel and fold it up into a square. This is your ‘time release’ packet. 2. Pour into your plastic bag: 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1/4 cup of warm water. 3. Carefully put the time release packet into your zip lock bag without it dropping in the vinegar before you can close the bag. 4. Close the bag. 5. Give the bag a shake.

Results (What happened) When the vinegar mixed with the baking soda the bag filled up with air then it exploded.

Summary Statement/Conclusion: (Was your prediction right or wrong? Why?   What did this experiment/your results tell you?) When the vinegar reacts with the baking soda it makes a chemical change and starts to make bubbles. The chemical makes the bag fill up with air and the air makes the bag pop
