Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn about chemical reactions between acids and bases and work on creating solid hypothesis. The most important thing is that they have fun!
N/A
1 or 2 strawberries an orange a lemon a grapefruit an apple liquid dish soap white vinegar baking soda
N/A
40 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
Allergy Warning: Learners will be handling, but not ingesting, fruit, baking soda, and vinegar in this class. We will be using baking soda, dish soap, and vinegar in this class. Baking soda and vinegar creates a bubbly reaction when mixed together. Baking soda will be added to cut fruit along with dish soap (also a base), then vinegar will be added to make the volcanoes.
