PARTS LIST NOTE: SPOILER REQUIRES ONE-TIME ATTACHMENT TO ROCKET CAR. In this super science experiment, you will learn how to make a Rocket Car that travels furiously far! This set combines physics and fun as an experiment full of action. This sleek racer will amaze you as it blasts off at a frenzied pace. - Page 3 ACIDS AND BASES ARE EVERYWHERE Every liquid you see will probably have either acidic or basic traits. Scientists use something called the pH scale to measure how acidic or basic a liquid is. A rocket is simply a chamber filled with pressurized gas. •...
- Page 4 STEP 3 Hold launcher tube vertically and pour the Vinegar solution into the tube. EXPERIMENT SAFELY: - Find a fl at smooth “track” with at least 200 feet of distance. - Don’t use the Rocket Car on a street or parking lot where vehicles are present.

Acids and Bases are measured by their “pH” level. The pH value indicates the strength of the Acid or Base on a scale of 0.0 - 14.0. EXPERIMENTING WITH FUEL R ATIOS Acids range from 0.0 - 6.9 and Bases range from 7.1 - 14.0. A liquid with a pH of 7.0 is neutral, like water, and is neither In this experiment, you will adjust the ratios of Vinegar (Acid) an Acid nor a Base. - Page 7 which means they are very acidic and have lower pH levels than other juices (like apple juice, which is not very acidic). EXPERIMENTING WITH NON-CARBONATED FUELS After experimenting with various types of juices, you will be able to determine which juices are the most acidic with the lowest pH In this experiment, you will use other commonly found non- values, and which ones aren’t very acidic at all.
