Mrs. Dixon's 8th grade science class completed their first science lab about chemical changes. Students observed the chemical changes that happen when bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and white vinegar are mixed together. Students also blew up a balloon by using the gas that's released from a chemical reaction using basking soda and vinegar.
