Fun Science Experiments // Baking Soda and Vinegar Balloon Experiment

Includes BOTH US size and Australian A4 sized files/spelling!

This fun, simple science experiment is an excellent hands on cost effective way to show children the three different states of matter and chemical changes in action!

This experiment explores the chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar, creating carbon dioxide. It is an excellent way for children to ‘see’ gas in action which is a great activity to teach children about states of matter.

This pack comes with a range of printables including a super cute 'magic balloon' bottle label to use when conducting the experiment with kids.

The activities and resources in this pack are designed to develop a love of science through a fun hands on investigation. The activities and printables included are aimed at early childhood children. Different versions are included to cater for a range of developmental abilities, teaching focuses and year levels catering from Kindergarten to second grade.

Included in this pack you will find:

• The Magic Balloon experiment – this experiment investigates the chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar. It is an excellent way to help children identify that a chemical reaction taking place due to the sound and sight of bubbles (indicators of a chemical reaction) – Background Info: Five evidences of a chemical change include odour, temperature change, precipitate formation, production of gas bubbles, and a colour change.

• Magic Balloon Recording Printables (vinegar and Baking soda): Experiment prediction and observation recording sheet (different templates to suit developmental levels).

• Magic Balloon Experiment science journal title: print these science journal tiles onto coloured paper and use as a science journal writing prompt). This allows for an open ended activities targeting your own learning intentions or educational outcomes when conducting the baking soda and vinegar experiment.

• Magic Balloon Bottle and Balloon templates: These are a fun and cute way for younger children to record their observations. Print bottle onto card and cut out, then have children draw or paint what they observed happening when the vinegar and baking soda react. For display, blow a balloon and attach with tape.

For Australian teachers, this pack aligns well with both the Science Inquiry Skills and the Chemical Science Understanding strands of the Australian Curriculum.

For American Schools, this simple and fun experiment is great to do during summer school or for some end of year fun!

I hope you find these resources useful in your classroom.
