Materials: Effervescing Antacid
Tablet 35 MM Film Canister Tape Scissors Water Paper Towels Timer Paper or index cards
Procedure:1) Wrap and tape a tube of paper around the film canister.
Invert the canister so that the lid lies flat on the table.2) Cut fins from the index cards and tape them to the
rocket.3) Make a nose by cutting a circle out of paper. Cut out a
pie shape from the circle and twist the paper into a cone. Tape the cone together then tap it on the open end of the paper tube.
4) Turn the rocket upside down and fill the canister 1/3 full with water.
5) Drop in ½ tablet of ant-acid and snap the lid on tight.6) Quickly stand the rocket upright (lid on the table) and
stand back! (CAUTION: Be careful when launching your rocket. Stand back and don’t point it at anyone.)
7) Make sure to time how long it takes for your rocket to return to Earth.
8) Alter different variables: i.e.: amount of ant-acid, amount of water, how the rocket is decorated. Make a chart for each variable.
