Day 3 of science mischief! 

Let’s make a snowman toot ☃️💨🤭

Follow for 12 days of science mischief 😉 

📝HOW TO
1️⃣Put 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a Ziploc bag (I recommend the name brand ones! Off brand can sometimes have invisible holes at the seems)
2️⃣Put 1 cup vinegar in a different Ziploc bag - don’t zip it up, and place it in your bag of baking soda 
3️⃣ zip the baking soda bag TIGHT and tape it onto your snowman
🫨NOW SHAKE

🎄🧪 THE SCIENCE 🤓
Baking soda is a base. Vinegar is an acid. When you mix the two together, you kickstart an acid-base chemical reaction that creates carbon dioxide bubbles. 
🫧Those bubbles build and build and build, which means the pressure builds and builds and builds. 
💨Once the bag can’t take the pressure anymore -> it toots!! Releasing all the gas. 

⚠️do this one in a container in case any liquid spills out (how embarrassing for the snowman 😳)
