This week
in The Smarties Science Club we did the black snake experiment. Watch our video to see how we've done it:
Explanation
When
baking soda is heated to a specific temperature carbon dioxide gas is released.
The pressure created from the release of the carbon dioxide gas causes the
snake to grow. The snake gets its black appearance due to the sugar being
caramelized by the heat.
Are you going to try this experiment?
