Hokey Pokey

Last week we made some Hokey Pokey. We put in 5 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup. Then we brought it to the boil and boiled it for 2 minutes. We added 2 teaspoons of baking soda. The mixture changed colour and bubbled and frothed up. We left it for 2 hours to harden. It was yummy, crunchy and had a rough texture.

Fizz Inflators

We had great fun on Thursday blowing up balloons using vinegar and baking soda.  The acid vinegar reacts with the alkaline baking soda to produce carbon dioxide bubbles.  Because gases require a lot more space than liquid so the carbon dioxide fills the bottle then moves into the balloon and inflates it.  You might like to try this at home and see how varying the amounts of baking soda and vinegar affects the amount the balloons inflate (a word of warning - we had a couple explode!)
