5 4 3 2 1 BLAST OFF!!!!

Hey every one. Today I built a rocket, and most of it was just a plastic bottle. It was actually really hard to build, but it wasn't rocket science. So instead of following the hard to read directions we put on some of our own attachments. It ended up working pretty well(though the front kept falling off. Maybe I should have read to the end of the directions, Oops).

The rocket is powered by a mix of vinegar and baking soda. When the two are mixed it forms into carbon dioxide gas. Since the gas is under pressure it blows off the cap and propels the rocket upward leaving us all smelling like vinegar... until it comes crashing down.
