Here’s a simple kid’s science experiment to illustrate that CO2 gas is heavier than air. It takes a little practice but once you’ve got it down it’s pretty fun!

CO2 and CFCs are heavier than nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), which make up most of the atmosphere. But when it comes to the behaviour of gases the effect of gravity is tiny.
Gases do one thing, and they do it well – diffuse. So even if a heavy gas is spread out along the floor, it will eventually rise up to spread evenly throughout the whole room. Otherwise we’d all be walking around in a layer of CO2, with a life expectancy of about 2.5 minutes.

i’d like to see the part where you then explain to the ‘kids’ that CO2 then goes high in the atmosphere and heats the planet and is going end the world in the next fifty years. I actually don’t think kids would believe after your experiment.

Simple, but really cool. Indeed, it’s like magic, pouring something you cannot see in a candle to extingish the fire.
Great way to interest some kids in science.
