Investigating chemical reactions

We had a brilliant time investigating chemical reactions in our science lessons this half term.

We wanted to know what happened when we mixed different amounts of baking soda with vinegar. As you can see from the photos, it got a bit messy! We all loved seeing the balloons blowing up when the reaction produced carbon dioxide.

Early Islamic Civilisation
