ISUEO hosts Fizz, Bubble, Goo Day at St. Patrick's …

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach (ISUEO) joined the Kindergarten class at St. Patrick School in Waukon recently to offer hands-on learning as the students participated in learning about Fizz, Bubble, Goo! The kindergarteners learned what makes Alka Seltzer fizz and what gas blew up their balloon when they mixed baking soda and vinegar. They made bubbles and bubble blowers, and made their own cola with ingredients right out of the cupboard. Lastly, they learned which recipe of “gloop” held together the best and had the most bounce. The final experiment was making elephant toothpaste and watching the reaction between hydrogen peroxide, yeast and soap.
