Today in class we did a fizz project it was really fun and really organized so that made it easier to do. It was a neat project that I am sure many young students would enjoy it; I mean I am a college student and I did. What we did was use different types of acid. They included vinegar, orange juice, grapefruit juice, and others and we also used chunks of fruit. We put the baking powder into a closed container and then squeezed all the different types of juices into it at separate times and saw how much the acid raised the air pressure. It was really interesting. The one that had the most of a rise it was in vinegar and the ones with the least result was the chunks of fruit but maybe that was because it was really hard to measure those because we were just looking at the reaction instead of having something more concrete as a rise in air pressure. I recommend this experiment to other teachers it was fun and enjoyed recording the information.
