Project: What Is Carbonation?
Materials: Sodastream carbonator
Explanatory details: Chaos demonstrated the carbonation process and then we investigated the resulting fizzy water.
How did it go: Great! Junie was very interested.
Things we talked about: (Hm, how did I try to explain this?) The carbonation machine has a canister of a kind of gas which is part of the air. When it makes the noise it pushes some into the water. When we pour the water we can hear the fizz and see the bubbles. It's the same fizz and bubbles as when we mix the vinegar and baking soda.
What Junie got out of it: Her first taste of carbonated beverage! She made a face and spit it out. We talked about how the gas is prickly on your tongue.
