October Science Project – Baking Soda Vinegar Balloons
October 26, 2022
WARNING: Make sure to do the following project with an adult for extra precaution.
To Make Baking Soda Vinegar Balloons, you will need:
- Baking Soda
- Vinegar
- Empty Plastic Water Bottle
- Balloon
- Teaspoon Measurement
- Funnel (This is optional, but helpful)
- Food Coloring (This is optional, but fun!)
Instructions:
- Blow the balloon up a little bit. This will make it easier to add the baking soda.
- Use the funnel and teaspoon to add baking soda to the balloon. Use two teaspoons.
- Fill the empty bottle halfway with vinegar. Add some food coloring!
- When you are done with steps two and three, attach the balloon to the bottle, making sure you have a good seal. Make sure not to flip the balloon fully upside down when attaching the two, or else the baking soda will go into the bottle too soon!
- Then lift up the balloon. This action dumps the baking soda into the vinegar! Watch as your balloon inflates!
