Introduce 2nd-grade students to the fascinating world of chemical reactions using common household items. Students will explore the interaction between baking soda and vinegar by observing how these ingredients react when combined. The materials required include an 8oz or larger clear cup, white vinegar, baking soda, water, and popcorn kernels. The experiment encourages curiosity through questions like ""What kinds of reactions occur?"" and ""Will the corn dance?"" As students mix the ingredients, they will witness a fizzy reaction that makes the popcorn kernels dance.
