Want to fly a rocket? This one won't get you into space, but it might fly over the roof of your house.
Here's what you need:
- 16 oz plastic pop bottle
- Rubber stopper or
a wine cork (that fits in the opening of bottle)
- Tablespoon
- Baking soda
- Strong tape (such
as duct tape)
- Scissors
- Three unused
pencils
- Funnel
- White vinegar
- Paper towel
- Safety glasses
- an adult!
Making rockets is fun, and none of these ingredients is toxic. But there's always a chance that some vinegar could splash out - so make sure you wear your lab goggles or safety glasses - and that you've got an adult supervising the rocket launches.
And here's how you put it all together (if the video isn't working, go
