Tasty Science – How to create
Fizzing Lemonade!
Believe it or not, you can create carbon dioxide (CO
2
) using items from around the
house! In this simple science experiment, we mix a base with an acid
to get
a chemical reaction.
This chemical reaction produces CO2 which are the bubbles you find in commercial
fizzy drinks.
Step 1: Slice your lemon up and it’s time to get squeezing with your juicer!
Given the stickiness of lemon juice, you might want to put something protective
down on the table to protect against any spillage.
