Solids, Liquids, Gas

We are learning about the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) in science.  We did a really neat experiment today.  We combined baking soda and vinegar in an empty soda bottle.  It caused a chemical reaction that created bubbles.  All those bubbles bursting released a gas - Carbon Dioxide - into the air.  We captured this gas in the balloon that we put on top of the bottle.  We learned that gas takes up space, even when we can not see it.  It was fun!
