This is a straightforward, fun project to measure the rate of the chemical reaction that occurs when Alka-Seltzer tablets are plopped into water. You'll track the volume of carbon dioxide gas produced at regular intervals after the...

The ingredients in Alka-Seltzer tablets undergo a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas as soon as the tablets hit water. Do you think you can cause the tablets to produce gas faster by breaking them into smaller pieces...

By using Alka-Seltzer and different temperatures of water, you can determine the effect of the water temperature on the chemical reaction of the tablet. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

Young scholars are given a scenario for this lesson where they must use investigative skills like a detective would to decide whether changes that happen to objects in the story are physical or chemical. They then conduct an experiment...

In this physics lab (best done outside), students will explore Newton's Third Law - 'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'. Students will fill empty 35-mm film canisters with water and part of an Alka-Seltzer tablet,...

An experiment where students launch a simple rocket using a film canister, water, and an antacid tablet.

Science Bob uses magnets, film canisters and Alka-Seltzer tablets to demonstrate how to build film canister rockets.
