Bottle Rocket Experiment

Today we will be conducting an exciting experiment using a simple bottle rocket. This experiment is not only fun, but it also helps us understand the principles of physics and chemistry.

Materials Needed:

  • Plastic bottle
  • Water
  • Vinegar
  • Baking soda
  • Paper towels
  • Cardboard or cork stopper

Instructions:

  1. Fill the plastic bottle about one-third of the way with vinegar.
  2. In a small piece of paper towel, add a spoonful of baking soda and twist it into a small packet.
  3. Quickly drop the baking soda packet into the bottle and immediately place the cardboard or cork stopper on top.
  4. Turn the bottle upside down and place it on the ground, making sure to stand back.
  5. Watch as the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda creates pressure inside the bottle, launching it into the air like a rocket!

Conclusion:

By conducting this experiment, we can see firsthand how the combination of vinegar and baking soda creates a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas. This gas builds pressure inside the bottle, eventually causing it to launch into the air. This experiment is a great way to learn about the basics of chemical reactions and the principles of rocket propulsion.
