Film Canister Cannons

Today in physics, we played with Newton’s Laws and Energy and stuff. One of our activities was “Film Canister Cannons.” We used effervescent tablets & water which we put into film canisters. They put them nose to nose with an empty canister and watched them blow apart. So today while taking pictures of the girls, I also managed to grab a film of one explosion. You can watch the video here.

Physics is Phun!
