🌟 Meet Mariza and The Grove Learning Explorers! 🌟

Hi there! I’m Mariza, a passionate teacher who loves nurturing young learners with creativity, care, and hands-on fun. I know how important it is to support little ones during this exciting (and sometimes challenging!) stage of growth, and I’m here to make the journey easier for both you and your child.

With The Grove Learning Explorers, I bring enriching, engaging lessons on the go! Whether you have a group of friends or moms with kids around the same age, you can hire me as your traveling preschool pod teacher. I’ll come to a location of your choice, set everything up, teach exciting lessons, and take it all down—stress-free for you!

Not sure about hosting? No problem! You can also join us at The Grove, our beautiful home classroom in Northwest San Antonio, surrounded by whimsical oak trees and designed to inspire lifelong learners.

✨ Ready to create an amazing learning experience for your little one? Message me to learn more about our flexible session options! 🌳📚

MATERIALS:
- Shot glass (or other small container)
- Balloon
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Large container with water

INSTRUCTIONS:
1️⃣Place baking soda in your small glass.
2️⃣Place vinegar into the balloon.
3️⃣Place the balloon over the opening of the shot glass.
4️⃣Drop it into the container with water.
➡️It should sink to the bottom, but then the balloon will begin to fill with gas and will float to the top! 

THE SCIENCE:
On its own, the shot glass is more dense than the water and will sink. (I recommend testing this with an empty balloon attached first!)
When the baking soda (in the glass) and vinegar (in the balloon) mix, it creates a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction produces carbon dioxide. The gas fills the balloon (with the shot glass still attached). 
The combined density of the glass, balloon and gas is now less dense than water, so it floats!

LITTLE LEARNER SKILLS:
Have your child transfer baking soda into the small glass.
Assist them in pouring the vinegar into the balloon using a funnel.
Predict what will happen when the glass is carefully placed into the water.

EXTENSION IDEAS:
💡In a small dish, mix baking soda & vinegar. Point out the fizzing that occurs when the two are mixed and explain that a gas is being produced. This gas is what filled the balloon during the activity!

💡Repeat the experiment, but try adding small items to the glass (like pebbles). Can you weigh down the glass so the balloon cannot lift it?

*You can use another small container instead of the shot glass. If the empty container (with balloon attached) doesn’t sink, add coins or paper clips to weigh it down!
