Tools and materials:
- Two bulbs
- Two electric thermometers
- Two glass bottles with caps
- Two paper rolls
- Baking soda
- Vinegar
- Funnel
- Volumetric cylinder
- Plastic container
- Spoon
- Pair of scissors

Experimental procedure:
- Place the thermometer cable into the paper cylinder.
- Put three tablespoons of baking soda in the two glass bottles.
- In a volumetric cylinder, measure 50 mL of vinegar.
- Stick the paper cylinder with its thermometer in each glass bottle.
- In a container, pour the vinegar with the help of the funnel and close the lid. At the moment, we close the lid on the 2nd container.
- Leave a light bulb next to each container for 30 minutes. During this time, we monitor the change in temperature in each case and record our data.
