Watch a 'rocket' take off from the launch pad of your backyard! Do this outside.

To make a miniature rocket you need:
 * a small, thin container with a snap-on lid
 * some vinegar
 * cotton balls
 * a teaspoon of baking soda

Directions:
 * 1) Fill the small container halfway with the vinegar.
 * 2) Wedge the cotton balls into the making sure it doesn't actually touch the vinegar.
 * 3) Put the baking soda on top of the dry cotton ball.
 * 4) Put the lid on the container.
 * 5) Turn the container upside down, put it on the ground and get away!
 * 6) Watch the container blast into the air like a small rocket.

Experiment with different containers, lids, and amounts of vinegar and baking soda.
