Remember that popular cereal box prize? You can easily make one in a few minutes. Kids love it! Also a great science experiment.

The Science Behind It:
The carrot submarine is initially denser than the water. When the submarine enters the water, the baking powder starts to react and carbon dioxide gas is produced. The small bubbles of gas get caught on the flat surface, making the submarine less dense than the water and causing the carrot to rise to the surface. The bubbles will then release from the carrot causing it to dive to the bottom again. The submarine will continue this pattern until all the baking powder is gone.

If you have a HOBBY LOBBY
hobby store in your town, they sell the baking soda submarine just like the ones that used to come in the cereal box back in the day.
