We turned film canisters into rockets today, but the real "launch" was in our students’ critical thinking! By observing these Alka-Seltzer poppers, we dove into:
Chemistry: Gas byproducts and reaction rates.
Physics: Pressure, force, and Newton's Third Law.
Reasoning: Formulating hypotheses based on what we see (and hear!).
Who knew a little fizz could lead to such deep scientific inquiry?
