1- Name the following scientific experiments using words in the box One simple scientific experiment that most of us do at home is
cleaning the bathtub from dirt. First, we put the baking soda on different
Static electricity - Balloon Inflation - Volcano parts of the bathtub, mainly the areas where we can see dirt. After few
Eruption minutes, we spray the vinegar on the baking soda and let them mix. The
baking soda will fizzle, and this will help lift the dirt and clean the bathtub.

Similar scientific experiments were the starting point for many

interesting discoveries and inventions. For instance, the discovery of
electricity traces its roots back to the experiments with static charges and
simple circuits. In schools, scientific experiments help students learn
scientific vocabulary, explore new concepts and allow teachers to assess the
