Hot Stuff!: Testing for Carbon Dioxide from Our Own Breath
Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

Hot Stuff!: Creating and Testing for Carbon Dioxide
In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.
