Hello curious learners! 👋
Welcome back to Learn with Pari, where we explore the fun and exciting world of science through easy experiments you can try at home!
Today, in Part 1 of our science experiments series, we’re diving into two amazing experiments: Candle Covered with Glass and Soda Balloon. These simple experiments will show you cool science in action, using everyday items. Ready to become a little scientist? Let’s get started! 🧪✨
🕯️ Experiment 1: Candle Covered with Glass
What You Need:
- A small candle or tea light
- A glass jar or a clear glass cup
- Matches or lighter
- A plate or tray (to catch any drips)
What to Do:
- Place the candle on the plate and light it carefully.
- Quickly cover the candle with the glass jar, placing it upside down over the candle.
What Happens?
Watch closely! The candle flame will start to flicker and then slowly go out.
Why?
The candle uses oxygen to keep burning. When the glass covers the candle, it traps the air inside. The candle uses up the oxygen, and when there’s no more oxygen left, the flame goes out. This experiment teaches us how important oxygen is for fire!
🎈 Experiment 2: Soda Balloon Experiment
What You Need:
- A bottle of soda (like cola or any fizzy drink)
- A balloon
- A funnel or a paper rolled into a cone
What to Do:
- Pour a little soda into the bottle (about one-third full).
- Use the funnel to pour baking soda into the balloon (about 2 teaspoons).
- Carefully stretch the balloon’s opening over the bottle’s mouth without letting the baking soda fall in yet.
- When ready, lift the balloon so the baking soda falls into the soda.
What Happens?
The balloon will start to inflate all by itself! 🎈
Why?
When baking soda mixes with soda, it creates a gas called carbon dioxide. This gas fills the balloon, making it expand. It’s a fun way to see a chemical reaction and how gases take up space!
🌟 What Did You Learn?
- Fire needs oxygen to burn.
- Mixing baking soda and soda produces gas.
- Science is everywhere – even in your kitchen!
