When baking soda (a base) and vinegar (an acid) are mixed together, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles that lift popcorn kernels up and down in a jar, demonstrating how chemical reactions can produce observable physical changes.

Julian, tell me again. What was it?
Did you want me to look at something?

>> That's okay.
>> Baking soda.
Okay, that's it. Here to [laughter] >> I'm going to use what's on there. I'm going to a little bit like that. Okay, >> let me take the tray.
>> Open. Nice. Cash. Okay. Good job. To >> see, too.

Okay, let's see.
[screaming] >> Oh, it's Julian's turn. Okay, >> finally.
>> Okay, I'm going to help you.
>> Okay, let's see. Um, Cash said it again, but we'll see. It says now >> half click it. Oh, half >> and it hopefully >> now it's stuck in step four. If you have click the jar, >> sorry.
>> Okay, ready? We're going to do step three.
>> What is step three?
>> Step three. Now add the popping corn kernels.
>> Are you ready?
>> Ready. You're ready.
Okay, I'm going to help you.
>> Yeah, we're going to put it in.
>> Yeah.
Good job.
>> Okay. Ready?
>> You're ready.

>> Thank you.
Nice job mixing.
>> You think next?
>> You are so smart. Let's see. Let's see what step number four is. She's going to >> Okay. Are you ready? Do you want to help me?
>> Do you want to help me see who's next?
>> Can you press this button? Push.
>> Oh, yeah. Good.
Esther's turn.
>> Esther's turn.
>> Okay, let's see.
>> What is step number four?
>> Oh, okay. I went too fast. Let's step back really quick. We're going to make a prediction. Okay, we're gonna say, "What do you think is going to happen?"
>> What do you think is going to happen before we put in the vinegar?
>> Okay. Do you think the popcorn will pop?
>> Do you think the popcorn will jump?
>> Oh, did you?
>> Or do you think the popcorn will sink?
That means going to the bottom of the jar.
>> Like how it is right now. What do you think's going to happen?
>> What do you think?
>> Hey, do you think the popcorn will pop?
Yeah. You think that one? What do you think, Juju?
What do you think's going to happen?
Do you think the popcorn will jump?
>> Which one are you going to pick? Which one are you going to choose?
>> Choose what one.
>> Yeah. What did you got to choose? Yeah.
>> What did you choose?
>> Did you say jump?
>> It will make something.
>> You think you think it'll make something?
>> Make it jump.
>> Make it jump. Okay. Good job, Esther.
What do you think?
>> Oh, it will say jump also.
>> Do you think it will pop?
Oh, yes. You think it's going to pop?
>> Hey, what do you think? Do you think it's going to jump?
>> Yeah.
>> Let's listen.
>> You think it's going to jump?
>> Nice. Which one do you like? You think it's gonna pop?
>> Pop or jump?
>> Will it pop?
>> Yes.
>> Yes. You think it's going to pop? Okay, let's see. Okay, Esther. Now, we're ready for step four.
>> Yeah, we're going to wait and listen for Esther.
>> Yeah, listen to Good job.
Nice looking.
You want to hold this?
Yeah. You think it's going to be >> Tell her you can do it.
>> Do it.
>> Good job. That's so nice.
>> You can do it, Esther. You got it.

I can help you a little bit.
>> Step four, add the vinegar.
>> Good job, Esther. Step four is add the vinegar.
>> Okay, who's going to do that?
>> Oh, who is it going to be?
You were right. It's Pais's turn.
>> Haz's turn.
>> We are going to add the vinegar.
>> No.
>> How much do we need? I didn't add it.
Silly. It's Chloe.
>> No, not my turn.
>> We need one cup.
>> As needed. Okay, let's see.
Turn.
>> Oh, nice. You ready?
>> Vinegar.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Vinegar. Okay. Remember, we cup one cup. Okay. We're going to fill it to this line.
>> I'm going to help you open this.
>> Help you open it because it's brand new.
>> Okay, you ready?
>> She's going to help you.
>> Whoops.
>> Let's sit more slowly.
>> Ready? You got to watch for one cup.
>> Ready? And then we're going to stop.
>> Stop. That was enough. One cup.
>> Stop.
>> We're going to stop.
Hey, are you ready to pour it in?
>> Let's see who's right. Okay, we're going to do it slow. Be careful. Don't fall over.
Come over here so everyone can see.
>> Okay, do it slow. Okay, slow.
>> Okay, lower.
>> Whoa. Oh, >> okay.
>> Let's look at the corn.
>> Oh, do you see it?
>> Let's see.
>> Wow.
>> Good job, Haz. Okay, you can put the cup over there.
>> Haz.
Nice job.
>> All right, H. Come on over here. Sit down. So, thank you.
Do you see them?
>> That was good.
>> You did a good job.

>> Good job. That's right.
>> Yeah, you were right.
>> Good job.
>> Nice guess. [crying] >> Good job. What do you think?
>> Oh my goodness. Wow.
>> Say thank you for your work.
>> You are working.
>> Oh my gosh. That's so awesome. Huh?
>> Okay, let's see.
Yeah, we're going to talk about how does it do that? How does it do that? That is called a chemical reaction. Remember we were talking about that one of our other science experiments.
>> The kernels, look, the kernels are going >> up.
Up. You see them?
Up.
>> Look at them.
>> So cool.
>> You see that?
>> They're jumping in there.
>> It's when two or more substances change and form a new substance. Okay, so in this case we have an acid, our liquid vinegar and a base, our solid, which is the baking soda, and they combine and it makes a gas called carbon dioxide. Okay. And makes it erupt.
>> Yeah. That's when it came all the way over. It was going up up up and then it went over >> up up. Yeah. Good.
>> Good.
>> The secret to the magic dancing corn is the baking soda and vinegar getting mixed together.
>> Yeah. It's making it go up up.
Yeah. The carbon dioxide bubbles lift the corn, but as the bubbles pop, the corn falls back down.
Yeah. So they're going up and down. Up and down.
>> Down.
[singing] Up, down, up, down.
>> Nice. Good job, >> H.
Okay. [laughter] >> I I respect your privacy. I was going to send it to Miss Alice and Miss Naomi.
>> Oh my god.
>> Okay. What do you think?
>> Did you like that? Yes or no?
>> Did you like it?
>> Yes or no? Do you like the project?
>> What do you think? Gosh, you guessed it.
Like it was okay. You said no. I don't like it.
>> You said yes.
>> It's okay.
>> I'll move the desk up so you can see.
>> Are you unsure? Maybe. Maybe like I don't know. Huh?
>> That's love.
Yeah, you're smiling.
>> Yes, I like it so much. Cool. Huh?
>> Nice job, Esther.
>> What do you think?
>> Yes, I like it.
>> Here.
>> That's so awesome, huh?
>> Good job. Thank you.
>> What do you think?
>> Good job. Good job.
>> Good job. Are you saying good job, Miss Chloe, or are you saying good job to myself?
>> Grandma, >> good job.
>> You made it up.
Good job.
>> I liked it.
>> I liked it.
