Overview
In this activity, student pairs use flour and baking powder to make 3-D paint. Students paint words or pictures with the paint and then heat the paintings. The heat causes carbon dioxide to form, which makes the paint rise and get bubbly. This activity builds understanding of how heat promotes chemical reactions, and how flour and baking powder react to form carbon dioxide.
