How it Works:

Your science soda bubbles because you created an endothermic reaction that released carbon dioxide. The baking soda (a base) and the lemon juice (an acid) when combined were the items that caused the chemical reaction and released the carbon dioxide. 

 

Make This A Science Project:

Try different temperatures of water. Try adding different amounts of water. Try adding different amounts of baking soda or lemon juice.
