Materials

You will need the following materials to complete the Conservation of Mass Lab:

  • 1 empty plastic bottle (this can be an empty, clean, 16 oz. plastic water bottle or soda bottle)
  • Baking soda
  • White vinegar (you cannot substitute apple cider vinegar)
  • Balloons (you will need at least 1 balloon; extras might be needed if popping occurs)
  • Tape (preferably electrical, duct, or masking tape; scotch tape will work)
  • 1 small to medium-sized bowl
  • Teaspoon
  • 100 mL graduated cylinder (or a 1/3 cup measuring cup)
  • 1 piece of paper
  • Funnel
  • Electronic balance or kitchen scale

NOTE: If you have trouble finding any of these materials, please ask your facilitator or teacher for assistance. The chemistry lab in your school should have an electronic balance or a triple-beam balance, as well as a graduated cylinder. Be sure to ask permission before using any school equipment.
