A cute Christmas paper experiment (3rd grade)

Hello boys and gisrls of 3rd grade!

What a lovely lesson we've had today, don't you think? I am very happy with the experiment we tried in the Science class. It was pretty simple but also fascinating! Let's follow the steps again:

1. Cut this Star-flower (the name we have given it :-P).

2. Fold the petals inside.

3. Colour them (only the outside part). Remember: use coloured pencils (not felt-tips).

4. Open the petals and write secretly a Christmas wish for your friend inside. 

5. Fold the petals again and give your star-flower to a friend. Tell him/her not to open it yet!

6. Place the folded flowers in a bowl with water and watch them unfold. Nice! Now, the Christmas wish is revealed :)

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

When you mix vinegar with baking soda, carbon dioxide is produced. Carbon dioxide is a gas, so it inflates the balloon.

Before this brilliant performance, they did the experiment in groups:
