Pressure and Motion Experiment Conducted By: Dusty Taillon
Newton’s Third Law of Motion For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What are we going to do? • Construct a booster fueled by a seltzer tablet • Observe the chemical change to give it boost • Create carbon dioxide to thrust the booster
How does it work? • Mix the water and a tablet • Carbon dioxide (bowl and tablet) • Film canister (gas has no where to go so the cap is blasted down and the rocket is blasted up) • Rockets use the same system of thrust Let’s make a rocket!
You will need: The center tube from a roll of toilet tissue A paper plate White film canister Some water One Alka Seltzer tablet Tape
I covered everything with duck tape to make it waterproof.
Take the launcher, film canister and the Alka Seltzer outside.
Fill half of the film canister with water.
Drop one Alka Seltzer into the film canister.
Snap the lid on the canister and shake. Then drop it in the launcher upside down.
