CREAMY POTATO
SCIENCE CONCEPTS
SCIENCE IN THE BODY
Agua oxygenada is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It decomposes very slowly into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) gas under normal conditions. 2H2O2 2H2O + O2

CREAMY POTATO
SCIENCE CONCEPTS
SCIENCE IN THE BODY
Potato contains a catalyst, which speeds up the reaction. This is shown by the rapid production of bubbles of oxygen gas.

CREAMY POTATO
DEMO TIPS!
SCIENCE IN THE BODY
Add small amount of liquid detergent to the potato before pouring the agua oxygenada for a more spectacular foaming. Use fresh chicken liver instead of potato for an even more rapid decomposition.

PROCEDURE
1.
SCIENCE IN THE BODY
Place teaspoon of active dry yeast in each of the four identical plastic bottles. Pour 1 cup of slightly warm water into each bottle. Label the bottles A to D. Into bottle A, add 2 teaspoons of sugar. Into bottle B, add 2 teaspoons of salt. Into bottle C, add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil. Do not put anything into bottle D. This serves as the control.

Tell your partner to drop the meterstick straight down between your fingers. Catch the meterstick between your thumb and finger as soon at it begins to fall. Measure how far it falls before you catch it. Practice several times. Run ten trials, recording the number of centimeters the meterstick drops each time.
