Canister POP!
Question:
What happens when you combine alka-seltzer with water in a sealed film canister?
Hypothesis:
The alka-seltzer with water will make carbon dioxide and make so much pressure that the cap will come off and shoot the film canister into the air. We believe that the canister with the least amount water will shoot the highest because there is more room for air pressure to build.
Procedure:Detail steps so anyone can reproduce this at school or home

Special Needs: Ceiling height, we think the gym would be a good place for us. |

The Science behind it
In conclusion, as the Alka-Seltzer tablet fizzes,the carbon dioxide is released inside the canister. Pressure from the gas builds and eventually pops the lid off. When we used different amounts of water, we observed that the canister with the least amount of water had the highest flight.

Conclusions
All in all when you mix Alka-Seltzer, air ,and water in a sealed canister pressure is created through carbon dioxide.
