SELF-EXPERIMENT SHEET SELF-INFLATING BALLOONS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Short description<\/strong><\/td>\nIn this experiment we are going to make balloons that inflate by themselves. The principle of the experiment is the same as the volcano experiment, which many of you already know. Baking soda is reacted with citric acid (or vinegar) and a very controlled reaction is produced which emits CO2. I prefer to use citric acid as it is much less messy and leaves less odour than vinegar, but you can substitute one for the other.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In order to inflate the balloons, the only thing you have to do is to inflate them inside a container with a mouth that the balloons can be attached to. In short, it is a very simple experiment and the materials used are foodstuffs, so it does not seem dangerous for children. It is always a good idea to use gloves anyway.<\/p>\n
