I was working in the yard last night and the kids kept asking if I would come out front and do the “rocket car”. Tyler received this as a gift from someone. It was a small kit that you put together to make a car that is propelled by vinegar and baking soda. The kids love it when we do this and it has become a neighborhood tradition.
Before we started Lauren asked Max (our neighbor) to tape Evil Kenevil (one of Tyler’s toys) to the rocket. Max attached him and he stayed on the whole time. Later Lauren told us to wait while she went inside to get something. She came out with a polly pocket. Max attached that to the rocket as well and Lauren is proud to report that the polly pocket stayed on the rocket after each launch.
We are trying to figure out the right combination of vinegar and baking soda to get the most thrust. It seems our most successful launch had a small amount of vinegar and a lot of baking soda.
