Amazing magic inflating balloon
Here is our day in a nut shell:
Math
We played memory and counting bears
Another math game we played was rolling a dice, counting the number of dots, then getting to pick out that many snacks. It's a fun way to incorporate math into other activities.
Reading
We read for 25 minutes followed by a lesson in Reading eggs. Fluttershy's favorite.
Sensory
We revisited out Cloud Sand
Science
The magic inflating balloon.
Our inspiration for today's science experiment came from a fun site Juggling with kids.
You'll need the following:
Empty plastic bottle
Vinegar
Baking soda
Balloon
First place fill your bottle with 1 or 2 inches of vinegar.
Second put 1 Tablespoon of baking soda in your balloon. You could use a funnel or like we did. I stretched open the balloon and had Fluttershy using a spoon pour the baking soda I had pre measured into the balloon. Carefully put the balloon on to the top of the bottle without letting any of the baking powder get into the bottle.
When your ready, shake the baking powder into to bottle and watch the exciting looks on the kids faces.
Super fun activity and fun day. This all happened before lunch and nap time. Fun day!
Love the science experiment, my kids love balloons and would love this! Thanks for sharing at BTT!
ReplyDeleteFor the last two weeks I've been trying to figure out how to trap the gasses from a baking soda vinegar reaction... I've been contemplating having the baking soda sit on a small block in a jar, so that I can mix it by shaking the jar, after I have the balloon covering attached, but putting the baking soda in the balloon makes so much more sense. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. It looks super easy and I'm sure my girls will get a kick out of it!
