There\u2019s a lot of bubbling and foaming! The bubbles and foam you see are filled with carbon dioxide gas (co2) that\u2019s being released by an acid\/base reaction. Vinegar is acetic acid dissolved in water and baking soda is a base called sodium bicarbonate. Initially, the reaction makes carbonic acid which is unstable. It quickly breaks down into CO<sub><span style=\"font-size: large\">2<\/span><\/sub> and water.

explored the materials in different ways.\u00a0 Some realized that spraying too much vinegar into the baking soda\/liquid watercolor mixture created a watery mess.\u00a0 By adding more baking soda to this watery mixture, the children watched it become thicker and more like dough.\u00a0 Some experimented with creating an art piece with the colors as they watched patterns and textures change when they added more water or baking soda or both.\u00a0 Some were content to explore how everything felt &#8211; one boy put his feet into his watery experiment, another was fascinated with the dough-like consistency of his creation and even asked for more baking soda to create a crumbly mixture\u00a0he could squeeze between his fingers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
