Not pay attention to the teacher.

Today, we

But today, it is NOT necessary!
Just be careful.

On to the experiment!
Page 14
Step 1: Define the Problem
What will happen if I combine
baking soda and vinegar?
Page 15
Step 2: Form a Hypothesis
After mixing water and vinegar
together with baking soda, I
think….
Write the hypothesis in your
book on page 22.
Page 16
For this experiment, we will use…
Page 17
Test the hypothesis: Step 1
Using your funnel
pour vinegar into
your bottle.
Page 18
1/3rd of the bottle
should be filled
Page 19
Step 2
Using another
(dry) funnel pour
baking soda into
your balloon.
Fill the balloon
approx. 1/2 way.
Page 20
Step 3
First, stretch the balloon.
Then, cover the top of the
bottle with your balloon.
Make sure you don't let the
baking soda spill into the
bottle early.
Page 21
Step 4
When ready, lift
your balloon and
let the baking
soda fall into the
vinegar.

Let’s watch and see what happens!

Step 6: Analyze and draw conclusions
Open to page 25 and
answer the questions in
your book.
Include any other
observations.
Page 24
Step 6
Discuss how the
baking soda &
vinegar produce a
gas which fills the
balloon.
Page 25
Because HC2H3O2 (the acetic
acid in vinegar) + NaHCO3
("baking soda") gives:
Page 26
NaC2H3O2 (sodium acetate) +
H2CO3 (carbonic acid). The
carbonic acid then
breaks down into H2O (water)
and C2O( carbon dioxide).
