Proyect:The black mamba

Introduction: this experiment is a very good form to look how a

polymer combine with other items react to high temperatures.
Components:
 A glass
 A fireproof container (or a can)
 Sand
 Sugar
 Baking soda
 alcohol
 A match
Steps:
1. combine four sugar tablespoon with a baking soda
tablespoon.
2. Pour some sand in the bottom of the fireproof container
and make a little hole on the sand.
3. Pour alcohol into the sand until it gets wet.
4. Pour the baking soda mixture into the hole.
5. Light the match, get it closer to the wet sand, back off
and look how it changes.

Theory: the sugar is a polymer that contains a big

number of carbon atoms, and this are black color. So
when you apply anothers items and you rise the
temperature it converts in a black mamba.
Conclusion: this experiments can teach people how
certain substance reacts to an expecific temperature.
 A chemical fountain
introduction: this is a way to learn that chemical
reactions not only appear when a substance gains
or lose temperature.
Components:
 A bottle
 Vinegar 1/2L
 Baking soda
 Two pieces of plastic hose
 Clay
 A needle
Steps:
1. mold a clay cork and insert the pieces of
hose into the cork, so that the longest one
almost reaches the bottom of the bottle, and the shortest
half.
2. cover the bottom end of the hose well .
3. Pour ½ of vinegar in the bottle.
4. put the cork in the mouth of the bottle.
cover the holes that remain around and let
the clay harden.
Theory: Gases can be produced during chemical reactions in
enclosed spaces, this increases air pressure and causes gases
to live in the form of bubbles.
Conclusion: is a good way to see how gases are release. For
example this experiment in which we combine baking soda
and vinegar what cause some gases to be realese.
