Lets Understand Vinegar and Baking Soda Science
Why does vinegar and baking soda make such a great combination? Vinegar is composed of about 5% acetic acid (CH3COOH). Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3) is a base. When the two are mixed, a neutralization reaction occurs between the two which releases carbon dioxide gas (CO2). It is also important to remember that the CO2 gas that is created takes up more space than the solid baking soda and liquid vinegar!

- I made the neatest baking soda and vinegar volcano at a science fair when I was 10 (geesh, who didn't??) I made mine maticulously out of papier-mache, paint, and even mini trees. I was nervous if it would work, but with such basic science, it looked fabulous and won first place.
I highly recommend baking soda and vinegar not just for fun, but as a wonderful way to connect with your children and use "fun" as a way to teach.
