How to Blow Up a Ballon with Baking Soda & Vinegar!

How to Blow Up a Ballon with Baking Soda & Vinegar! This is a very fun and easy science experiment for kids!!!



Hey Everyone and welcome back to the lab.



In this video we are blowing up balloons with carbon dioxide!! This is a great experiment to show children how acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) react to form sodium acetate and carbon dioxide gas.



The rapid release of the carbon dioxide gas in the reaction pressurizes the plastic bottle and causes the balloon to inflate.



Give it a try and use different amounts of vinegar and baking soda to see how big or small you can make the balloon!



Make sure to comment below if you tried this experiment. And as always, have FUN but be SAFE!!!

How to Make a Rainbow Water Bridge

Watch water walk from glass to glass - How to Make a Rainbow Water Bridge!



Hey Everyone and welcome back to the lab.



In this video we attempt to build a water bridge using paper towels!! This is a great experiment to teach children the color wheel and capillary action. You can watch as primary colors mix to form secondary colors, or take the experiment a little farther to create tertiary colors. We used primary colors in this experiment and watched as the glasses mix to create secondary colors.



The water is drawn up through the paper towel by capillary action (which is also called capillary motion or "wicking"). This is the demonstrated by the movement of the water through paper towel against the force of gravity. The water continues to move through the paper towel until all of the glasses reach the same water level.



Give it a try and use different colors to see what type of rainbow you can make.

Sugar Water Density Tower | Water Stacking Experiment

Water Stacking Experiment - The Sugar Water Density Tower!



Hey Everyone and welcome back to the lab.



In this video we attempt to stack water in layers!! Using sugar to change the density of water, we are able to create different layers of colored water. The amount of sugar in  water changes the density. Liquids with lower density float on top of liquids with higher density. We start with the water that has the most sugar and then STACK the water on top of each using a pipette and A LOT of patience! This experiment is all about going very very slow. But the end effect is really cool and demonstrates the effects of density.



Give it a try and use different colors to see what type of rainbow effect you can create in your density tower.



Make sure to comment below if you tried this experiment. And as always, have FUN!!!
