Baking soda is a bicarbonate, or NAHCO3, and it is a base. Vinegar is an acetic acid, or HCH3COO, which of course is an acid. When these two combine a chemical reaction occurs. As a result of this chemical reaction, carbon dioxide gas is produced. When this reaction happens under water, the carbon dioxide gas is trapped in bubbles. 4-H members will experiment with the effects of these bubbles underwater as they get popcorn to dance.
Teaching yourself to become more grateful can make a huge difference in your overall happiness. The research shows that gratitude helps you experience more positive emotions, decrease depression, feel better about yourself, improve your relationships, and strengthen your immune system. A recent study revealed that gratitude even makes you smarter about how you spend your money. One simple practice you can use to increase and cultivate an attitude of gratitude is keeping a gratitude journal. It may sound cheesy but writing down the good things that happened to you during the day really works. It's a technique that makes you feel happier, more connected to others, and genuinely appreciative.
