This exciting ohhh ahhh experiment uses a ziplock bag and
chemicals to create a distinctly more neato reaction that students
can hold in their hand. Students can observe several indicators that
show a chemical reaction is taking place. They see a color change, a
heat increase (exothermic reaction), a precipitate forms, and bubbles
(a sign that a gas is being produced) and smell ewwww!





This experiment comes from a group of
experiments developed by The Lawrence Hall of Science at Berkeley and
written by Jacqueline Barber.
