Film Canister Rockets Kit
Educational Materials Chemistry Educational Materials Gas Analysis Learning Activities
Hands-on STEM learning kit for launching rockets using a simple chemical reaction.

  • Vinegar and alka-seltzer react to create carbon dioxide gas in this classic experiment
  • Explore the princples of chemical reactions, action/reaction or engineering design with this simple kit
  • Plastic film canisters provide a perfect reaction chamber for a tiny rocket and can be reused indefinitely

Vinegar and Alka-Seltzer react to create gas inside the closed canister. Pressure builds as the amount of gas increases. Eventually, the pressure pops the lid off the canister, allowing the canister to launch into the air. This kit provides enough vinegar and Alka-Seltzer for at least 2 rocket launches. It is possible that with some experimentation by using additional water and breaking the tablet into smaller pieces, students can launch their rocket more than just twice.

Kit includes: (2) film canisters, (2) packs of alka-seltzer tablets (4 tablets total), cardboard storage box, safety data sheet and instructions for assembly and experimental activities.
