Bag Burst Science Experiment

Looking for a fun Science experiment to do with the little ones? The kiddo and I both enjoyed this. We started out with a smaller bag first and the decided to go bigger. Because, why not?

If you're doing the smaller ziplock bag, here's the recipe:
Put 2 tablespoons of baking soda in a small torn of square of a napkin. Fold the napkin into a little packet. In your ziplock bag add 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar. Go outside, put folded napkin inside bag and quickly close bag, you may need to give the bag a little shake. Then the bag will slowly start to fill up and after a few seconds should pop.

We got a bigger pop when we used a gallon size bag. The recipe for that size is:

Tear a napkin in half and add 1/2 cup of baking soda, make napkin packet again. In your gallon size bag, add 2 cups of water and 2 cups of vinegar. We added some food coloring to our second bag. Again, go outside and add packet. Zip bag close, give a little shake and enjoy! :)
