Product Info

A little water, an Alka-Seltzer tablet, and one of our film canisters, and you've got a rocket! Our 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 12 feet high or more into the air. Great for demonstrating rocketry, 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.

Thrilled with how well they work!

Work great, and reusable! LOVE these along with the science lesson learned. I think I may go broke buying more alka seltzer long before the canisters give up! Thank you!
The Rockets worked great!

I bought the film canisters to do the rocket experiment with my daughters Brownie Scout troop (it's in their book for the science badge). They worked out perfectly...the girls were so excited to see them fly in the air!
BEST ROCKETS EVER!

These are the most perfect film canisters for shooting rockets! The suspense the kids had before they blew (like 20 feet up in the air!) was fabulous. I had purchased another set of canisters in anticipation one our school event and they were a dud!!!!! The one's from The Science Bob Store were the real deal!
Super duper to have the successful film canisters.

So simple but with great effect. Kids love to launch them over and over.
Good Product

The film canisters are good but I did an experiment where the students measured the time it took for the lid to pop off when an Alka Seltzer and water were put in the canister and some of the canister's kids didn't really pop off at all. Not sure if some of them leaked gas even when the lids were tightly on. Other than that it was a good solid product.
Great for science lesson

The white film canisters were great for a Year 5 science lesson on chemistry, and making film canister rockets. Lots of fun!
