Oh ho ho, and please do share your experiment highlights with us @IETeducation! #SantaLovesSTEM
Watch the IET video with YouTube channel star Marvellous Marthy and download the free worksheet from our IET site to join in the fun this Christmas! See the chemical reaction between an alkali (bicarbonate of soda) and an acid (white wine vinegar) when you trap the bubbles and turn Rudolph into a flying rocket. You'll only need a few simple items to do this quick and easy science experiment to see reactions in action. (Top tip: you may want to do this one outside, as it can be messy.)
