Description
A fun and engaging science experiment demonstrating chemical reactions through balloon inflation, perfect for kids and adults.
Ingredients
- Balloons (2-3 per experiment)
- Empty plastic bottle (1.5L or similar)
- Baking soda (about 2 tablespoons)
- Vinegar (about 1 cup)
- Funnel (optional)
