Description | Students construct small-sized model rocket-powered boats—"aqua-thrusters"—that are made from film canisters propelled by carbon dioxide gas produced from a chemical reaction between antacid tablets and water. Students construct small-sized model rocket-powered boats—"aqua-thrusters"—that are made from film canisters propelled by carbon dioxide gas produced from a chemical reaction between antacid tablets and water. They make predictions and experiment to observe the effect that surface area of this simulated solid rocket fuel has on the resulting rocket thrust. A worksheet is provided to guide the experiment. |
