How it Works:

When you have an acid (vinegar) and a base (baking soda) mixed together there is a chemical reaction. That chemical reaction releases carbon dioxide and results in the bubbling.

 

Extra Experiments:

  1. If you did try it with food coloring, try doing it without it and vice versa.
  2. Add popsicle sticks to the the ice trays when you freeze the vinegar. Does it work better, worse, or the same?
  3. Try doing the experiment with citric acid instead of vinegar. Some examples of citric acid would be lemon or lime juice.
