Group Experiment #3

With every group and child I talked to, I got the feeling they wanted a big reaction.  I talked about it a lot with them.  Did they really think I would let something explode?  Would that be safe?  This convinced about half of them, but the rest of the class was holding strong in the hopes of something explosive.

Materials needed:  

• baking soda and corn starch
• funnel
• test tube
• straw

Procedure:

1. Pour the corn starch in a tube.
2. Pour baking soda in the tube.
3. Mix it with a straw.

Predictions:  

• It will explode!  Just kidding.  But maybe...

There aren't any pictures of this experiment, but here is the general consensus of the final results.  No explosion, but still fun to test out our hypotheses.
