How was this evidence of a chemical reaction?

Highlights
What did you learn today?
We observed a chemical reaction while doing 'elephant toothpaste.'
How did you show what you learned?
We observed a temperature change and saw bubbles when the catalyst (yeast) was added. It was no as impressive as the one on the link above. 
What do you need to learn next?
We need to prepare for our test or assignment to finish off the unit. We start electricity next week. We also need to be ready to begin our Periodic Table art assignment tomorrow.
