Science Class Response Blog- The Cork Experiment :]

Just recently in my science class, we did an experiment where we had to use vinegar and baking soda to make a cork shoot across the room to hit our classroom window. Although this may sound easy to do however, it really isn't. The reason for that is because if you don't do one thing correctly, you won't be able to hit the window which was what kept happening to my group. What happened was that my group couldn't do this procedure correctly which made us uncapable to hitting the window. We were so close a few times however, we couldn't hit the window. Even though we didn't hit the window, we still learned how to collect data and how chemical reactions form. In my opinion, I felt that that experiment was a fun way to learn about chemical reactions and that its more fun than just completing worksheets on chemical reactions. Hopefully, we can do more experiments like this one instead of completing worksheets and wasting paper. :)~vikinggirl15<3
