Alka-Seltzer Rockets

Alka-Seltzer Rockets

Students learn about rockets and chemical reactions, then split into small groups or individually and design a rocket body around a film canister. When finished, rockets are launched by combining alka-seltzer with tap water. Students can compete against each other and experiment with different amounts of reactants.
