The first step is to decorate the water bottle so it looks like a boat when you hold it horizontally.

Then you will make a small hole in the non lid side and insert a straw that has the bendy part stick out. Now tape around the hole so that only the straw is coming out of the hole.

Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment

Baking soda vinegar

Fill the bottle with 1/2 cup vinegar. Make sure you have a tupper wear bin, kiddie pool, or bathtub with 8″ or more water.  2 tablespoons of baking soda in a paper towel square and roll it up. Now quickly put baking soda roll in bottle and put the lid back on and set in water.

HINT: We had to tweak the experiment since the picture. You want the straw on the bottom part of the bottle so your straw tube is IN THE WATER.
