Class Response: Cork Popping Lab

In class, we did a very fun experiment using baking soda, vinegar, a cork, and a test tube. You may think, what fun can you have with those items? Well, our goal was to mix a specific measure of both baking soda and vinegar in the test tube, and cause the cork to pop off, and fly far. The further, the better. And if it managed to hit the window, even better. So we used a guess and check method, trying different measurements of both of those ingredients. It was fascinating. I had alot of fun with this lab. In the end, our group managed to make the cork fly 600+ cm. I found this lab very interactive and I liked it alot.
