Energy transformation: Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment
Word bank: gravity, experiment, successful, failed, improve, modify, forms of energy, chemical
energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, gravitational energy, sound energy, thermal energy, light
energy, elastic energy, chemical reaction, vinegar, baking soda, rocket, carbon dioxide, rocket
chamber, gas, thrust, launching pad, force
PURPOSE:
To see how the energy transforms in to another energy.
HYPOTHESIS: I think inside the rockets chamber it will make a chemical
reaction that will make a thrust that will make it fly.
MATERIALS: List materials used in this experiment: launch pad ,
baking soda ,white vinegar ,spoon, rocket.
PROCEDURE: Before you do this experiment you must have all the
materials. Then take apart the rocket from the launch pad put 4g
baking soda into the launch pads hole, After that put white vinegart

2. OBSERVATIONS: What did you see during the experiment?
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3
Failed Failed It worked by putting a bit more
We did not shake it that much. Same. vinegar.
Draw and label a diagram of the experiment.

3. CONCLUSION: Explain the experiment using vocabulary provided in the
word bank.
In the end of the experiment it made a chemical reaction made it pop up. Witch made a sound witch
is sound energy after became kinetic energy then potential energy then gravity pulled it down, then
completion .
Draw a flow chart to show Energy Transformation in this experiment.
Use the vocabulary from the word bank.
