With the explosive power of bicarb and vinegar, you can launch your very own mini rocket into the air in an exciting, repeatable experiment.

A deflating balloon demonstrates basic rocket science - gas enclosed in a chamber being allowed to escape through a small opening at one end. Gas flow creates thrust that propels the balloon in the opposite direction (Newton's third law - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).

The same applies for bicarb-vinegar powered rockets. The chemical reaction causes a build-up of carbon dioxide, which exits the base of the rocket, causing the thrust to occur and the rocket to propel forwards.

How to launch:

• Using the smallest scoop (included), add 1 full scoop of bicarb soda into the rocket base.
• Using the large scoop (included), add 1 full scoop of vinegar into the rocket.
• Hold both pieces at 45° making sure the vinegar and bicarb soda mix does not spill out, and clip the rocket to the launching stand.
• Set the rocket down in an open space then stand clear for lift off!

What you'll need: 

• Vinegar
• Bicarbonate Soda (not included)
