Students research air bags on the Internet and use the information to design their own version of an air bag. After exploring the benefits and dangers of air bags students perform a chemistry lab in which they mix baking soda and vinegar in a Ziploc bag, with the goal of determining the correct ratio of acid and base that leaves no appreciable amount of either reactant behind, yet fully inflates the bag.

Students predict what happens in a teacher demonstration of a chemical change, before watching it. They observe the demonstration and list what the see on the board before determining which represent chemical change. Working at stations they complete simple inquiry based activities that show a chemical reaction such as rusting, chemical cold packs, Alka-seltzer melting, oxidation, and exothermic reactions.
