đđ„ Bath Bombs + Science = A Bubble Mystery! đ§Șâš
Mrs. Eddlemanâs students recently became science detectives after observing what happens when a bath bomb hits the water. Their observations led to a BIG driving question:
đ€ âWhat substance or substances in the bath bomb created the bubbles?â
Time to investigate! đ Students tested sugar, table salt, Epsom salt, cornstarch, baking soda, and citric acid individually in cups of water. The result? No bubbles! đ«§â
But after discussing their observations and using some prior knowledge, the class had an idea: What if we mix baking soda and citric acid together?
Sure enough⊠BUBBLES! đ«§đ And they looked very similar to the bubbles produced by the bath bomb!
Now the investigation continues! The students are on a mission to figure out exactly what gas is hiding inside those bubbles. đ”ïžââïžđ”ïžââïž
Who knew a little bath bomb could lead to such a BIG science investigation?! đđŹ
