Science week 4 "Pop Rockets"

Week 4 of science we celebrated our letter of the week (P) with "Pop Rockets". This was also our first week we used goggles. Don't they look official?  

Take film canisters, add water, a quarter of an alka-seltzer tablet, lid.....wait for the pressure to build and "pop" off flies the lid.

Another successful week of science!
