Because we just can’t get enough of baking soda and vinegar, here’s another great way to demonstrate how the two elements react to form carbon dioxide. Laura at the Come Together Kids blog shows how to make a releasable plastic bag explode. Follow her directions and watch the kids ooh and ahh as the bag fills with gas and then pops! Seriously, what is more fun than a safe explosion?
Science lesson: The acid in the vinegar reacts with the base in the baking soda, producing carbon dioxide gas.
