Water Bottles

In LEAD, we use empty water bottles for many projects.  Please bring them to school.  There is a box outside of my door for them.  Thank you.

Bubbling Into School

We experimented with "Dancing Raisins."  When raisins are put in a carbonated drink, then they will rise up on the bubbles.  Once they pop, then they will sink.  We discussed what buoyancy means.
We created a chemical reaction with vinegar and baking soda.  The bi-product of carbon dioxide is what filled the balloon to make it self inflate.
