2. Rockets
Alka Seltzer Rocket Building
Watch Mr. Jones’s YouTube video to learn how to build and launch your rockets and see a bunch of real time and slow motion launches. Then build your rockets, launch them outside with your safety glasses on and upload a short video to FlipGrid using the link below.
For more information check out the two links below with great videos: The first link shows the rockets being used on an ABC news program. It also provides specific written directions, if needed. The second link shows a massive amount of them going off at once on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (fast forward to the 4 minute mark if you don’t want to see the other cool science experiments right before the big launch).
Videos or pictures could also be emailed to Mr. Jones at tjones1@wolcottps.org.
