We just had to do our Rocket launch for this week's S.E.T.! We had a kit that contained a small rocket and a beaker that you would fill up with baking soda and vinegar and watch as the rocket blasted out of the container:
Setting up our baking soda:
Loading the rocket:
Watching it launch:
The kiddos were a bit disappointed by the lack of true "launch" our rocket made. I found a cool video online to do when the little ones are a bit older that has directions for a really neat rocket and a time-lapse release of the baking soda. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwiosotOlWU
Since there is no disappointment in science, we decided to bring out a cookie sheet, a plastic volcano, and some pipettes so that we could make more "explosions" with the baking soda and vinegar:
They really loved the way it fizzed!
So much science fun!
