11.01.2022 STEM... We decided to try an experiment using bicarb soda, water, vinegar. We created a snowman. The bicarb absorbed the water, creating a paste then we moulded a snowman and placed them into the freezer. After some time we took them out of the freezer and used syringes to squeeze the coloured vinegar onto the bicarb snowmen! The snowmen fizzed and melted very slowly! #science #vinegarexperiment #loveofscience
