Rockets

This week we have been working on making rockets from film canisters and the antacid tablets. Some canisters shot up to over 7 metres!

We decided then to make rockets using vinegar and baking soda. We saw a cool youtube clip on how to make these.

Unfortunately they did not work! We could'nt get the lids on quickly enough. Instead, there was plenty of fizz going on with the vinegar just pouring onto the ground!!

However, we did have fun making the rockets. We learnt a lot about why this experiment did not work for us!
