Try a new way of blowing out a fire by using baking soda and vinegar in this cool chemical reaction. When combined, these two materials make carbonic acid which is quickly converted into CO2. When you tilt your container, you are pouring CO2 into the flame. This causes it to blow out! Don’t forget to have some adult supervision, and most of all, have fun!

In this experiment, watch water start boiling without heating up the cup or making it catch fire. Conduction occurs as heat is being transferred through the paper cup from the flame to the water! Don’t forget to have some adult supervision.
