today on zoom this is a rocket powered
by lemon juice and baking soda that we
have who are you I am the official ghost

hi when I make this square Brownie troop
from spewpa Massachusetts
let's talk you want to hear from you
come on
where's Nolan on WGBY
hey Zoomers welcome to today's show can
you figure out why this team is called
tidal wave it's because when you shake
the sheet it looks like a really big
wave a tidal wave
this game was emailed to us by Jessica
to play you need a big sheet and a roll
a pair of socks for each player and
we're we're in color wristbands so you
can tell which sock is ours okay guys
first you're going to put your socks in
the middle of the sheet perfect and then
pull on the corn the edges so it's
really tight and you're going to shake
the sheet and try to get everyone else's
socks to knock off and the last player
was a sock left on the sheet is winner
right now
yellow is the winner so Matt you on that
round yeah okay so everyone saw you
talking
okay three two one oh that was so cool
this is a rocket powered by lemon juice
and baking soda sheriffy original in
South Carolina sent us these directions
you should probably do the Zoom sight
outdoors to make one you'll need an
empty soda or water bottle a course that
tightly fits the soda bottle if you
can't find one that fits then you might
want to wrap it in keep paper towels
toilet paper lemon juice baking soda
water and safety glasses first make
strips on paper towels and attach them
to the court like this this will make
the cork look more like a rocket then
cut a square out of toilet paper
then add about a teaspoon of baking soda
like this that's pretty good and you
have to make a little pack nice and
tight
school this okay that's good like that
then pour water and lemon juice into
your soda bottle right
SSO the bottle Thanks mmm then that's
pretty good yeah then add water until
it's a little less than halfway full
it's probably easier to use a funnel
second and want to be a little more yeah
put on your safety glasses and put the
baking soda packet into the bottle screw
on the court tightly shake the bottle
and stand back to lift off okay ready
yep okay we have to go wow did you see
the bottle go up in the air tail here's
the reason why the court shoots up
Cheryl says that when the water and
lemon juice oak through the toilet paper
the baking soda reacts to form carbon
dioxide see the bubble carbon dioxide is
a gas as more gas forms crushes those up
inside the bottle and sends the court
flying
we know that lemon juice is an acid and
baking soda is a base and when we mix
them together it produces carbon dioxide
now we're going to test out other acids
with baking soda and see what happens
it's all a process that the more acidic
a liquid is the more carbon dioxide it
will produce and the higher the rocket
will dock we have permission to use any
of these chemicals why aren't we tried
vinegar first okay we'll move the bottom
course every time do you think that the
bottle will go higher or lower than the
lower oh I think I think the vinegar
will probably go a little bit high
literally just because it's a stronger
acid yeah probably it might be a
stronger acid but want to find out okay
I'll hold the funnel thing uh yeah
that's pretty bad right
there we go do you want to add the water
water will you just tell me one yep a
little bit one that's good alright so
just grab the cork and get ready there
we go ready you're gonna add the baking
soda pack up oh it's leaking oh that was
wicked cool it was cool because it was
clear and a fully entering already
falling Ron do you want to try out like
you wanna try orange juice jorssy orange
soda yeah yeah what do you think will
happen this I think it's an acid but
also I think it won't go as high as the
UM vinegar or lemon juice so yeah I
think so too
okay the vinegar one pretty hat if I'm
alone that's good that's good
this is all look really colorful yeah
it'll be full when it goes flying okay
that's good okay get ready I'll uh I'll
put it in then you can shake it if you
want they might take it a little here
maybe we should take it might take a
while cuz I don't think orange showed as
strong as it's an acid no it doesn't
seem like it's doing anything just seem
like it's fooling around
that's right it doesn't work guess it's
not that strong don't take the cork off
sure
there we go that was cool hello so which
one do you think what's the vessel lemon
juice in the vinegar I think the loner
just kind of went a little bit higher
than the vinegar because I think it's a
stronger acid yes keep watching because
later in the show we'll experiment more
with acid
here's a bunny salad Sarah T of Prussia
Pennsylvania emailed us the recipe first
but a piece of lettuce onto a plate then
take half a pair and put it on the
lettuce we're using pairs on my can but
you can use fresh positive light and
take three raisins and put two on to the
eyes there we go one for the nose phone
okay
next take two almonds and stick them on
to the side these are going to be the
ears here we go
now take a spoonful of cottage cheese
put it behind the pair okay there we go
this is going to be the tail all right
now take a baby carrot and put it by the
side of the pit and there is your bunny
salad
what's that what's that what's that
what's that what's that who's your role
model and why Ruby Bridges because she
wasn't afraid to go to an all-white
school even though people didn't like
her for it my favorite role model is
like that because he loves me and I love
him
Bill Gates because he's determined and
he's made great achievements in the
field of technology my role models are
my parents because even with their busy
schedules they'll always find time to be
there for me my favorite role model
would be honor Roosevelt because she was
a woman's right activist my mom because
she's a teacher and she helps kids to
learn and she still has time for my
brother and my sister and I and to help
other people my role model would
probably have to be Susan me Anthony
because thanks to her and so many people
that followed her us women now have the
right to vote with that what's up with
that with that what colors represent
bonus for you in order but academic I
think if it relies to me better person
Samanta
when will you return from the Arctic
country
I'm a southern of a la da da da w ever
woman said which other family mm ugh
scrubby I was any devil Danny Bob
remember lovey but when I was bodies our
beloved wanted doom reviews Joseph had a
little overcoat is a book written and
illustrated by Sims Tabak and here's my
review Joseph the only character in the
story had a little overcoat when the
overcoat became tattered and torn Joseph
didn't throw it away
instead he made the code into a vast
whenever Joseph's clothes became worn he
thought of another use for them Joseph
really knows what it means there is
cycle to see just how creative he got
you'll have to read this book I enjoyed
it because it teaches us to think to
appreciate and to make the most of what
we have
do you have a book that you really love
what we want to know about it
so send us your of you don't forget to
tell us the title of the book what it's
about and why you like it
Marilyn s of the Kane Pennsylvania
recently visited South Dakota she sent
us this home video about her trip this
past spring my mom and I took a trip to
South Dakota for my granddad's bull sale
each year he sells his gold to other
farmers and ranchers who raise cattle
our first day there a man was washing
the Bulls to clean their hair and make
them look nice
one of these ba*ls is mine and I will
sell him in the sale on Saturday
every time we visit my granddad's ranch
we rush to get our cowboy boots and go
outside there are dogs to play with oh
good mom
we got audience steers to look at we
call it pink horses division
there are always new baby cap some of
these cute baby calves will grow to be
comfortable scannable sell in Ceylon
expert we saw this calf right after it
was born this is an orphan calf I mean
15 he's a boy cat boy cats are called
pulse this straw is for his bed and
sometimes he snacks a little bit on it
Andy gets his milk from this cow over
here as you see she has a captain Brown
but Chad nut milk for two calves so she
accepted him as her own bundle it was
Saturday field day that's my Uncle John
helping with the Bulls in the ring and
then who are yelling are taking and
asking for bids when a buyer nods it
means he wants to buy the bull since
other people wanted to be option air
keeps raising the price until only one
bidder is left when my book came into
the ring Brenda told everyone they would
be buying dinner for me although one of
them are great that's money for my
college education with the sale or it
was time to go back to Philadelphia and
back to my school but now with this tape
I can use it whenever I get my boots on
brother inch I hope you learned
something from this visit to Central
South Dakota by the love of cheese a
poem written by using B of lanoka harbor
new jersey cheese please but hold the
swiftness I think cheddar is better
American white certs my appetite well
American yellow helps me be mellow
mozzarella makes me a good fella or do
you like Monterey Jack if that's the way
that you like a snack the many flavors
of cheese
I asked by saying please cheese for
breakfast cheese for dinner
midnight snacks McNeil winner do you
achieve more than me I do not think
though geez Louise
well now you know that I love cheese
I must be banking on my knees can I have
some cheese please earlier when we made
our lemon juice Rockets we decided that
lemon juice works the best because it's
most acidic when we use lemon juice the
rocket went really high
we think that vinegar is lots of fitness
because when we use it in our rocket the
rocket shouldn't all the time and orange
soda didn't really react so we think
that's the least acidic we're going to
test our hypothesis to see if we're
right remember when we showed you how to
use cabbage juice and baking soda to
tell how acidic a chemical is well when
you add baking soda which is a B to run
cabbage juice the red cabbage juice
turns whoops when you add an acid to the
red cabbage juice and baking soda
mixture the mixture turns red like the
plain old red cabbage see so we think
that when we add lemon juice to the
cabbage juice and baking soda the color
should be the reddest because the lemon
juice is the most acidic when we add
vinegar the color should be less red
because the vinegar is less acidic and
when we add orange soda the color should
be the least red because it's the least
acidic let's check it out
okay so so you get the sure cheese
whoops there you go now just dirt you
can stir it around a little bit you want
really really close that is it's a
little bit lighter than hey I don't know
later huh that's really cool that's
funny but that means that shows that
lemon juice is pretty acidic I know okay
so you want your chest open vinegar now
yeah okay you want a whole thing
they should come close for not as close
shake it around a little bit
mmm that yeah that changed from just
baking set up like you can see the
different a difference but it isn't as
light yeah watch a sword sword enough
yeah okay I like watching the colors
change it's cool yeah that's a little
too much this probably won't come close
at all is it
a hypothesis is the truth would we black
warm induces delighted that means the
strongest acid then the vinegar orange
soda didn't change color at all so we
don't even know but that happened
experiment with other drink simple and
señor discoveries to zoo
then the accent I volunteered by giving
up something in my hair and donating it
to an organization that makes flicks for
children with cancer after I first heard
about the idea
your mom and I found out more
information from the internet I've
