Part 3 Launching the rocket
This movie clip shows how to add the sodium bicarbonate to the vinegar and perform a successful launch.
Reduce the amount of bicarbonate and increase the amount of tissue paper to slow down the reaction.
Have fun with chemistry experiments at home when you can, even under lockdown.
Thanks to Jonathan Barton, Bob Worley and Abdul Khan for inspiration and encouragement.
