Zinc and vinegar is what you're looking for. Our high school science class had us fill plastic pipette bulbs to make rockets.

Zinc would've worked too, I might have clipped the corner off some pennies or something. Magnesium works too though, and I definitely had access to magnesium. It was awhile ago though, so I'm not sure what I did.
