Put the solution your testing CO2 for into a boiling tube. Put a plug with a tube leading out of it in the top of the boiling tube. Place the other end of the plugs tube into a beaker full of limewater. If carbon dioxide is present, the limewater will turn cloudy.

pour some limewater into a beaker and, using a straw, blow into it.

(If you don't have a straw, I think you can just blow into the beaker. Sorry, I'm just not so sure if it will work.)
