1. 1/ 2 R and CLG
SCIENCE Frankenstein’s Hand
Did you know that when you mix vinegar and bicarbonate of
soda that you get a chemical reaction?
 Grade 1 /2 R and CLG explored what happens when you
mix together different substances.
 What we did---You need-- a glass jar, a rubber glove
(disposable gloves are fine) 3 tablespoons of vinegar and 2
teaspoons of baking soda. (It also works with bicarbonate of
soda)
 Put the vinegar in the glass jar.
 Carefully spoon the bicarbonate of soda
into the glove.
 Attach the glove to the top of the jar
allowing the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to
mix.
 Then watch Frankenstein’s hand stir to
life!!
‘Here is the reaction of the students’
- We saw the ‘bicarb’ of soda and vinegar and it made carbon dioxide- Josiah.
- It was good but you have to be careful it doesn’t pop.-Julie and Zahra
- The glove came alive and it started rising.- Liam and Donte
- We had lots of fun doing the experiment called Frankenstein’s hand. Jessie.
- It was very cool that the glove came to life.- Cooper and James.

expand and everyone was saying explode,
explode, explode! It didn’t explode. –Eric and
Jack.
- The glove had air inside and it floated on the
jar because it had Carbon dioxide in it. -
