    I observed three diferent science experiments in class today!!!

    Eruptions!
    How does it work?

    Baking powder has baking soda in it so it bubbled over, but it didnt erupt. The
    pure baking soda substance did erupt! This is because baking soda is sodium
    bicarbonate: each molecule of baking soda contains a sodium atom, a hydrogen atom,
    an oxygen atom, and a carbon dioxide molecule. Vinegar contains acetic acid, each
    molecule of which contains a hydrogen atom, and an acetate ion. When combined, the
    hydrogen atom in the acetic acid meets up with the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the
    baking soda to form a molecule of water, while the acetate ion grabs onto the sodium
    atom and forms a salt, sodium acetate. The carbon dioxide molecule, free of its other
    chemical bonds, can now escape, and bubbles forth as a gas.
    What you can do at home:

    Test other materials at home and see how they react with vinegar!
    What you will need:

    Vinegar

    Baking soda

    Baking powder

    Corn starch

    Sugar

    Flour

    Lemon Juice

    Or other materials to test with the vinegar!

    Small containers for testing


    Hovercraft Predictions and Observation
    How does it work?

    As the air leaves the ballon, it goes under the CD. The air then lifts the CD up,
    and pushes it along!
    What you can do at home:

    Measure the distance from the starting point to the ending point. How far did it
    travel? Repeat this a few times and see if you get the same results each time. If not,
    why? What are you changing? The amount air in the balloon? The direction the
    balloon is facing? Try diferent surfaces and see if you get diferent results.
    What you will need:

    CD or DVD

    Water bottle lid with a pop-up top {or similar pop-up lid}

    hot glue

    balloon
    Listening Box
    How does it work?

    Listening is an importance science skill as well as an important life skill.


    Listening is a big part of making observations! In order to become better listeners, we
    need to practice. A listening box is similar to a touch box or a mystery bag. There we
    objects placed inside of a closed box and we used our listening skills to guess what
    was inside of the box!
    What you can do at home:

    Try using your other senses with a touch box! Put objects in a closed bag or box
    or other container, and have your child use their sense of touch to fgure out what they
    are feeling! You can do this with other senses, like smell, as well!
    What you will need:

    Objects that make noise

    Box or other type of container

    Eager child
