UPDATE: Alka-Seltzer Rocket Experiment

Friday, December 28, 2007

We recently completed our Alka-Seltzer Rocket Experiment and had great fun designing, building and launching our rockets. We learned a great deal about Newton’s Third Law and reinforced our knowledge of the Scientific Method. In addition, we were able to use some art and engineering design principles.

The

We created a worksheet that students can use to:

  • Review Newton’s Third Law and the Scientific Method
  • Record launch data
  • Write-up experiment

We also created a page dedicated to creating and launching Alka-Seltzer rockets so that your students can build them, too. If you like, you can watch our short video on our Alka-Seltzer rocket launches.

Eclectic Homeschooling

We enjoy highlighting resources we find useful in our homeschooling journey, especially those that fit the eclectic style. Occasionally, we share some of our own lesson creations.
In case you were wondering, the name spottybanana was inspired by a questioning 4-year old who asked: 'Mom, why is this banana spotty?'
