GOOD NEWS: We've got a limited number of film canisters back in stock. Our current batch is translucent/cream in color (not transparent like in our photo) and they are currently packaged in packs of 30. Happy flying!

A little water, an Alka-Seltzer tablet, and one of our film canisters, and you've got a rocket! Our new canisters are the perfect canisters to use for film canister rockets. (see experiment link below) This is a highly popular and fun activity at any age level with lots of room for experimentation. These canisters have tight-fitting lids that close with an audible "snap!" The fit is tight enough to build up pressure and send the canister 15 feet high or more into the air. They are also transparent so that you get to see the bubbling chemistry in action. Great for demonstrating the scientific method, teaching Newton's Laws, or just an unforgettable, high-flying science lesson. Of course, I suppose you could also use it for storing small items. Our new canisters are the standard size of 50mm X 30mm. Includes canisters, caps, and experiment instructions. (You provide the Alka Seltzer/fizzing tablets) Don't forget safety goggles when launching the rockets.

Use these film canisters to build your own film canister rockets. You can get all the instructions and experiment ideas by clicking HERE.
