Abstract: It would seem that bottles of lemon juice and rockets have only their basic shape in common. However, as two cast members from ZOOM demonstrate in this adapted video segment, when baking soda is added to the mix, a plastic bottle can act very much like a real rocket. Grades 3-8

Curriculum Standards:
MCREL Compendium of K-12 Standards
US.MCREL.K-12.sci.8
Standard 8. Understands the structure and properties of matter
US.MCREL.6-8.sci.8.8
8. Knows that substances react chemically in characteristic ways with other substances to form new substances (compounds) with different characteristic properties
US.MCREL.K-12.sci.9
Standard 9. Understands the sources and properties of energy
US.MCREL.6-8.sci.9.6
6. Knows that most chemical and nuclear reactions involve a transfer of energy (e.g., heat, light, mechanical motion, electricity)
US.MCREL.K-12.sci.10
Standard 10. Understands forces and motion
US.MCREL.6-8.sci.10.4
4. Understands effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object''s motion (e.g., if more than one force acts on an object along a straight line, then the forces will reinforce or cancel one another, depending on their direction and magnitude; unbalanced forces such as friction will cause changes in the speed or direction on an object''s motion)
