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!!
