Science Experiment - The Haunted Glove

Loo Bear was keen to try an experiment he'd read about in a library book...

A jar with a little water and vinegar in it. A glove, with bicarb soda in the fingers, secured to the rim of the jar with a rubber band.

  
Lift one finger to let the bicarb fall into the jar and... a spooky hand that rises up all by itself! Our rubber band wasn't particularly tight so a lot of the air escaped and the hand quickly deflated.

Take 2: We tightened up the rubber band and the hand stayed inflated for a good half hour.
