Rocket Science

We had an idea from the Extrementals show to make a rocket.

You Need:

• 1 Cup of Bicarbonate soda
• 1 cup of Vinegar
• Camera role cut in half
• Paper towel
• Empty soda bottle
• Cork

What to do:

• Wash soda bottle out.
• Then shake it dry.
• Sticky tape camera roles on sides
• Add one cup vinegar
• Roll bicarb soda in paper towel and lower it carefully in to bottle.
• Put cork in and turn upside down and thread on to wicket quickly.

What we Saw:

The bottle sort of exploded – the cork came off and the bottle flew up in the air like a rocket. It was very exciting.

Conclusion:

There was a chemical reaction between the vinegar and bicarb soda. There was so much pressure in the bottle that the cork blew off and the bottle flew up in the air.
