Procedure:

1.   Pour about 1/2 cup of vinegar into the plastic bottle.

3.  Using a funnel or rolled up piece of paper, gently pour the baking soda into the balloon.  Fill the balloon half way  full of baking soda.

4.  Gently place the balloon on top of the mouth of the bottle.  Be careful not to get the baking soda into the bottle.

5.  Gently lift the balloon and let all the baking soda fall into the bottle and watch the balloon inflate.
