Participants will produce two important atmospheric gases: oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is made through a chemical reaction between hydrogen peroxide and yeast. A glowing splint is used in the classic test for pure oxygen. Carbon dioxide is generated using baking soda and vinegar. A lighted splint is used to test for the CO2.
