In 3rd grade students have been learning about matter. Today Mrs. K Sweet's class did an experiment from a website called Generation Genius. In the experiment, they mixed 2 spoonfuls of baking soda with 1 cup of water. Then they dipped a q-tip into the mixture and wrote a message on the paper. They let it dry for 10-15 minutes. To reveal the message they rubbed a blackberry over the paper and it reacted with the baking soda crystals that were dried on the paper. The Science Behind the Experiment: After you write on the paper with the baking soda and water mixture, the water evaporates leaving trails of baking soda crystals. The purple pigment from the blackberry when rubbed across the paper reacts with the baking soda crystals, forming a new substance! Since a new substance is formed, this is a chemical change.
