Just found a small misconception that I wanted to note. Yeast, is not a bacteria, it is a eukaryotic microorganism in the kingdom Fungi, so they are related to mushrooms. Bacteria are in a whole separate kingdom and are prokaryotes.

Thanks!

I love this experiment! I have tried it with the baking soda and vinegar, but I never tried using the other materials. Thanks so much for posting these awesome ideas on your website. I love to have the children experience STEM activities and learn new concepts about Science.

Hi Alexandra,
No, it does not need to be done outside. But I would suggest an open area – and I’d put down a disposable table cloth, just in case you get some spills.

Hi Lindy,
Great question! In both of those recipes, the balloon is prepped by filling it with either the pop rockets or baking soda with a funnel and then once the respective item is in the balloon, closing the top of the balloon with your hand so that the item doesn’t fall out and then carefully pulling the balloon over the bottle until you release it and allow the dry goods to fall into the bottle.
Hope this helps!
Warmly,
Kimberleigh

]]> By: Lindy https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/kids-science-experiment-balloon/#comment-226677 https://www.playdoughtoplato.com/?p=12660#comment-226677 Thanks for these. Bit of help needed, though. In some of these experiments, you say that you first stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle, then drop in the poprocks or vinegar. But how do you do that if the balloon is already covering the mouth of the bottle? Do you peel it back a bit and then pour in the remaining ingredient, then quickly recover the mouth? Maybe there is another way? I’ve never done these before, and didn’t want to try until I checked (unless I have some crazy mess on my hands! haha).

Thanks!

I would love to have parent helpers do these experiments with my students.
Thank you so much!

Great experiments! Thanks much.
