Science Fair Projects Kids Will Love To Do – Does Carbon dioxide Have Weight?

We all know kids love exploring and finding out things. It is important that we use this time to make them love science. This is what these science fair projects kids will love are all about.

It is very important for kids to love doing science projects. The best way to start is to let them do some fun projects and show them how it can be turned into a science fair project. Here is one of our science fair projects kids will love to do.

All science projects should always be done with adults there for safety’s sake!

Throughout this experiment it is good to make notes of everything you do and also to take photos of each step for your display.

Questions you will be able to answer after you have completed this project:

1. Why is it possible to balance the stick with the two bags like a balance scale?
2. What is inside the bags?
3. What is produced when you mix the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar?
4. Why are you able to “pour” it into the plastic bag?
5. Why does the stick tilt?
6. What has happened?

Do you thing carbon dioxide has weight? Well, let’s find out!

What you need for this experiment:

• 2 Plastic bags of the same size
• A stick of about 20 inches
• A Thumbnail
• Vinegar
• Bicarbonate of soda
• A glass
• A teaspoon
• A note book
• A pen
• A camera

How to do this science fair project for kids:

1. Attach the two plastic bags to the stick one at each end
2. Balance the stick with the bags on the thumbnail on the corner of a table like a balance scale
3. Put one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in a glass
4. Add a few drops of the vinegar, enough to make a reaction.
5. You will notice that it is beginning to make foam as the gas escapes from it.
6. Place the opening of the glass over one of the plastic bags
7. What happens to your scale? It tilts to the side where you have placed the opening of the glass over the plastic bag
8. The gas the escaped during the chemical reaction was carbon dioxide and it is heavier than air
9. That is why you could “pour” it into the plastic bag
10. If you were to fill a balloon with this gas, it will never be able to float, for it to float you will have to fill it with a gas lighter than air such as helium.
11. What is the conclusion of your experiment? Does carbon dioxide have weight? Does carbon dioxide weight more or less than air?

This is the basics for this science fair project for kids to do. Now you will need to know the correct way of doing your display. You also have to know what the correct scientific method is, you will have to be able to explain it to the judges together with your display.

A very good place to get all the information you need for this is with an e-book such as 24 Hour Science Projects. There you will get complete projects with everything you need from hypothesis to conclusion, with charts and all. 24 Hour Science Projects are instantly downloadable and you can have your project ready in a short while.
