Sweet and Sour

We were lucky to have a turn with the science box last week. First we added vinegar (acid) to baking soda (a base) and then we tested it. There was lots of  talking and observation of what was happening.Everyone worked well together.

Then students mixed some of the chemicals in little bags.What did we make? Sherbet. And better yet everyone got a lollipop to dip in. 
What did we learn? 

• measure your chemicals carefully
• don't taste unless you know what it is
• the bubbles were actually carbon dioxide being released
• And science is fun!
