 Balloon Experiment 2
We wanted to find out if other liquids would blow up a balloon like the 
White Vinegar did in our first 
balloon experiment.

We tested 4 different liquids:
 Malt Vinegar, Milk, Sparkling Water and Coke


We made it a FAIR TEST by using the same glass bottles, the same colour balloons, 1/2 a cup of each liquid and 
3 teaspoons of baking soda.
The only variable we changed was 
the liquid.



Some of us thought the 
MALT VINEGAR 
smelt a little bit funny!



We put the liquid into the bottle 
using a funnel.


We put the BAKING SODA in the balloon by using a funnel.

We made predictions about 
what would happen.
Some of us thought the balloon 
would fill with gas 
and some of us thought it 
would not fill with gas.



We observed what happened...



when Lauretta tipped the 
baking soda into the malt vinegar.




We saw a chemical reaction. 
The baking soda and malt vinegar mixed together to create a gas called carbon dioxide. 
It bubbled up and the gas blew 
up the balloon.
 We did the same experiment 
but this time we used milk.
We made predictions about what we thought would happen.


This time the balloon did not fill with gas, it was floppy.

We did the same experiment 
but this time we used sparkling water.
We made predictions about what we thought would happen.





There was a little bit of a 
chemical reaction. 
The balloon was filled with a small amount of gas.




We squeezed the balloon 
to see what it felt like.

We did the same experiment 
but this time we used coke.
We made predictions about what we thought would happen.





 There was a little bit of a 
chemical reaction. 
The balloon was filled with a small amount of gas.



These are our results from out experiment.
We are wondering why the 
malt vinegar had the biggest
chemical reaction!
Welcome back 🐞
I hope you all had a wonderful 
time over the holidays.
Well, the first week back at school went by very fast and the children were all keen to get back into their class activities.


FRIDAY - PYJAMA DAY!!!

 M&M Science Experiment with Room 1 and Room 16



We worked with out buddies to write down our predictions and then find out what would happen when warm water was tipped onto M&M's

 

 We saw the colour coming 
off the lollies.

The colour on the M&M's 
started to dissolve and change 
the colour of the water.




 It was fun working with our buddies.




We recorded the results together.








 We redid the test using more M&M's





















Some of us decided to 
make volcanoes with the lego.



 We filled the volcanoes with
baking soda and then poured vinegar into the volcano...we shared our predictions with our friends about what we thought would happen when they mixed together.

 We saw a chemical reaction...
the baking soda and vinegar mixed together...

and created a gas. 
We saw the vinegar go all bubbly and pour out of the volcano.
