Introduction:
This is a fun rocket made from recycled film canisters. It's a craft
and science experiment all wrapped into one!
Materials:
- Alka Seltzer tablets (or store-brand equivilant)
- Film canisters with lids
- Paper towels
- Water
Procedure:
- Children should add the "fuel" (also known as water) to
the canister about a quarter full.
- Then take a quarter of the alka seltzer tablet and put it into the
canister.
- Seal up the canister with the lid. Put the cap down on the ground.
- Step back from the rocket. Wait a minute or so.
- The rocket will shoot up into the air from the pressure of the tablet
creating gas in the canister.
Note: You can obtain film canisters by asking at film developing studios!
