For science today, we had to do an experiment which includes gases. First of all, we had talked about the different gases we know.
Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)
I think that the first balloon will be comprehensive, because of Carbon Dioxide. I am not sure if the second balloon will work or not.
Materials
- 2 Water Bottles (same size)
- 2 balloons
- Baking Soda
- Sparkling Lemonade
- White Vinegar
- Table Salt
- Classic Soda
- Water
- Plastic Spoon
- Funnel
Steps: Balloon 1
Result for Balloon 1 |
- Get one large plastic bottle and one balloon.
- Get some baking soda and white vinegar.
- With a funnel, pour ½ cup of vinegar in the bottle.
- Put 3 tsp of baking soda in the balloon.
- Carefully, put the balloon on the bottle.
- Wiggle the balloon so the baking soda will go in the bottle.
- Wait for the balloon to rise up.
Steps: Balloon 2
- Get one large plastic bottle and one balloon.
- Get some salt and soda.
- With a funnel, pour ½ a cup of soda in the plastic bottle.
- Put 3 tsp of salt in the balloon.
- Carefully, put the balloon on the bottle.
- Wiggle the balloon so the salt will go in the bottle.
- Wait for the balloon to rise up (if it rises up).
Result
Balloon 1
( 3 tsp baking soda, ½ cup vinegar)
|
Balloon 2
( 3 tsp salt, ½ cup soda)

Balloon Size (cm)
| 25cm | 4cm |
Bubbles
(small, medium, large)
| Medium | Small |
Conclusion
This experiment was extraordinary. My hypothesis went right, the first balloon was comprehensive. But the second balloon went a bit awkward, the balloon went from 25cm to 4cm. I had heard about this experiment, but I hadn't tried this experiment, it was really exciting. I also learnt that you make Carbon Dioxide from this experiment.
I hope you like my post about the balloon experiment. Comment down below if you've done an experiment like that. Have a cool day!! Bye!!
