Science – chemical reactions – Bath Bomb experiment

We have been using everyday chemicals to create our ownย bath bombs.

This experiment consisted of mixing citric acid, bicarbonate is soda, cornflour, lavender, food colouring and splash of water.

We discovered that carbon dioxide gas was given off during the chemical reaction.

When we tested our bath bombs in water they all worked leaving a lovely lavender smell and creating bubbles of gas and a fizzing sound as they dissolved.
