7. Observe what happens! (Watch what happens right after the baking soda hits the vinegar, then 20 second later, then another 20 seconds later. Answer the questions below.)
As a group, draw three pictures of what is happening in the experiment.

1. Is the balloon filled with gas? How do you know?
2. Does gas fill the shape of its container? How do you know?
3. What else did you see happen?
