It was a warm, sunny afternoon, when they crept inside… Mom! We’re boooored! I wanted to avoid the iPods or Netflix, so I scraped together supplies to make homemade baking soda/vinegar rockets to shoot off in the backyard. Holy cow! Lots of rocket FAILS that day! I may still stink like vinegar… After working through different materials, we came up with our favorite combination and the kids learned more about acid/base reactions. In this post, we walk through how our kids learned how to build an Alka-Seltzer rocket. What’s also great about this project is that it can be easily turned into a science fair project… let’s SCIENCE!!

Mind Blowing Science — Did it really blow our minds??
Review: Mind Blowing Science — Would it REALLY blow our minds??
Last Christmas, Santa must have sensed our kiddos getting more excited about STEM because he left the “My First Mind Blowing Science Kit” under the tree (Thanks Santa!). Mind Blowing Science is an all-in-one kit that offers a series of experiments for kids to try. For us, this was our very first “kit” purchase. We were a little unsure about what to expect but excited to try it.
- Would it be hard to do?
- Would the kiddos understand what the experiments were about?
- Would I be able to get things to work??
Biggest question for us….is it really mind blowing?? Let’s science and find out!
