FAQ:
Q. What size bottle is used in the tutorial and video?
A. 32 ounce Vinegar Bottle.
Q. Can we adjust the amount of vinegar, water and baking soda?
A. Absolutely! Experimenting is the fun part of science.
Q: How high will the rocket go?
A: Following our directions for a 32 ounce bottle, most launches are in the 50 - 75 feet range.
Occasionally, a rocket didn't go this high. (Shorter or malfunctioning launches are usually caused by not pushing the stopper in securely, or not shaking prior to placing in launch position)
