and the rockets red glare
July 3rd, 2008
We do a lot of “experiments” around here. Mainly we blow the tops off bottles. Sometimes we make rockets; sometimes we use bare cork. The basic ingredients are usually the same – 2 tbs baking soda and 1/4 c to 1/2 c vinegar. I say usually because Will’s been listening to our govt and seems to think that any liquid and any powder will have the same effect. So, I let him experiment with mustard, garlic powder, water, wine, etc.
Anyhow, the pictures above are from last nights experiments. I plan to break out the baking soda and vinegar tomorrow if we make it through our bag of poppers.
