CSI - Mystery substances

Today we had our first chemistry lesson and we learnt about white powders. It was a messy place to be because some of the powders spilled! The powders that we experimented with were sugar, salt, baking soda and last but not least cornstarch.
We noticed that some of the powders changed when we mixed different liquids with them.
The cornstarch went black when we added the iodine and it became very sticky.
When we added the vinegar to the baking soda it fizzed up.
