Have you ever explored what happens to baking soda and vinegar when they are mixed together?
We will start with simply mixing the two and then step it up a notch with a variation that would should probably complete outside.

What You Will Need
-your safety glasses
- baking soda
- vinegar
-measuring cups and spoons
-a shallow pan or bowl
What To Do
1. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda into the pan. Scoop it together
2. Measure out 1/4 cup of vinegar
3. Pour the vinegar onto the baking soda.
4. Record your results in a Mission Report...Observe...What Happened? What changes took place?
5. Change it up... Does it make a difference if you add the baking soda to the vinegar instead? What happens if you do the experiment in an empty, plastic water bottle?

To step it up a notch to be an experiment, watch this video and try it yourself.
On your Mission Report, identify the variable. The variable is the thing that is changed in an experiment. What was the only thing that was changed in this experiment? To identify what causes a specific effect, scientists only change one thing in an experiment and keep everything else the same. What other things could you change? Try it and write about it in your Mission Report!
How much do you need to add in order to get the outside bag to pop?? Sounds like another experiment to me! Try it and keep track of how much baking soda and vinegar you had to use. Make sure your Science Buddy helps you to choose a place that can get wet (like a sidewalk outside) for this experiment.
