"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village this experiment is called 1,2,3 blast off. Then Sam is going to show us how to do it. We are going to need vinegar, tape, baking soda, a half teaspoon, a film canister with a lid, scissors, a pieces of toilet paper and for this experiment we really need the goggles. Okay lets get started let's put these goggles aside we are going to need them later and I want you to take the toilet paper and split it and cut it into about a 2 inch square. Just throw away that other piece. Okay just cut that about 2 inches a little trim on the side and trim off the top. Okay now you are going to place on t he center of your tissue square you are going to put about 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda. Put it over here so people could see you. Good now wrap in a little package and tape it up. You want to make it small enough to fit in the lid of the film canister. Okay a little bit of tape you want to be careful when you are making your package not to tare the toilet paper because then the baking soda would fall out of it. Okay tap that up and stick it right on there we are using double stick tape which works great. Now pick up the lid and just make sure that, that is not going to fall off. Great now fill your canister half way full with vinegar. Just half way great okay next we are going to see what happens. "
