Pocket Rockets
During the last week of school last term we made something called pocket rockets they are small little things in a container that pop and shoot up in the air like a rocket but its pocket sized. It is made of 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda and 8ml vinegar. We made them in little containers and what we had to do was quickly shut the lid and then just wait. It either didn't do anything, fizzed a little or it would shoot off and act like a rocket. One group got theirs so high it got stuck on the roof. My group didn't get any success all of ours failed and didn't shoot off.
Hi Ayla.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased that even if your pocket rocket was not very successful you were able to see the other pocket rockets flying up in the air and onto the roof!!
Do you know the name of the gas that the vinegar and baking soda produced?
Thanks
