LOL!When I was a kid, we used to make grenades from old plastic soda bottles. You fill it half-way with vinegar; add a layer of vegetable oil, then dump baking soda gently on top. The oil keeps the two reagents separated for a while. Close the top, shake it vigorously, then toss... Seriously, though, it'smy understanding chemistry sets today mirror what's going on in the classroom - much smaller quantities of chemicals to demonstrate principles of reaction, smaller containers, finer measurements. |
