The Beaufort Academy third and fourth graders took part in a Matter Lab with Mrs. Luckey last week in the Chemistry Lab. The students carefully mixed a liquid, vinegar, and a solid, baking soda, to make a gas. The students created a compound better known as carbon dioxide. The balloons allowed the students to capture the gas and work with the three main states of matter, as well as see how basic elements join forces to make compounds with different characteristics and traits.
