Balloon Experiment

What state of matter is produced when you mix baking soda and carbon dioxide?

On Friday, we used the scientific method to answer this question. Mrs. Corliss put vinegar in a bottle and used a funnel to put baking soda into a balloon. Next, she put the balloon on top of the bottle and tipped it. When the baking soda and vinegar mixed it bubbled and created a gas called carbon dioxide. 
We were very excited about the experiment! We wanted to see how big the balloon would get!

We know we created a gas because it filled up the balloon.
Today we were scientists!
