Can vinegar and baking soda make a rocket?

Procedure:

1 Get a canister and a bowl.

2 Put baking soda and a little bit of water in the bowl and mix well till it’s thick like a paste.

3 Fill the canister half way with vinegar.

4 Put the paste on the inside of the lid.

5 Put the lid back on the canister and shake.

6 Put it upside down and let it go.

7 Make sure its away from you!

Conclusion

Vinegar is an acid. Baking soda is a base. A chemical reaction between the two causes carbon dioxide to be produced. This gas causes pressure in the canister. This causes the explosion.

Dazza is playing a space game, Destroy All Humans, on the playstation. Suddenly he gets sucked into the game by the aliens and lands onto their spaceship. The aliens want to destroy Australia but Dazza is so good at playing the game, he has a chance to save Australia by showing and telling the aliens about aboriginal culture and its animals.

Dazza took the aliens to see the animals such as emus, kangaroos koalas, and dolphins penguins.He also took them to see boomerangs. Boomerangs are things that you throw and if you do it properly, the wooden thing comes back at you. They were invented by Aboriginal people who are the first people to live in Australia.

The alien said that he was so impressed with Dazza’s story, he decided he would not blow up the world.

This is my story

One Saturday afternoon Sally, her mum and sally’s talking cat Milo were playing Voodoo Vince on Xbox. When they got to the 100th level it froze and some words popped up on the screen. The words said “Press the ‘Y’ button”, so Sally did. All of them got sucked into the Xbox. They found themselves in the game and turned into Voodoo dolls.
Sally started yelling out to Woof, her sister, and her brother, Bark. Woof could just hear Sally yelling and came running into the room, and so did Bark. They looked around and saw no one, so Sally yelled, ‘Look at the screen’. They did and saw Sally, Mum and Milo in it. Milo said “Play the game”, so Woof and Bark did.
An alien king said “You have three tries to get to the end and to get to the end you will have to answer my questions. If you get them wrong I will blow up your country and if you get to the end I will let you go and not blow up your country. Got it?”
‘Got what’ said Sally.
“DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”
“Oh yer I do. ‘Ok lets get started’ said Sally, but a door was in the way. So they knocked and the alien king said “Name five native animals.”
“Emu, Dingo, Platypus, Kangaroo and Wombat” said Sally and her mum really fast, at the same time. The door opened and Bark and Woof controlled Sally, Mum and Milo to the next door. The alien king said “Do you have wars with other countries?” Milo said “No’, but we help other countries.” The door opened and they got extra points. Woof and Bark made Sally kill all of the monsters so they could get to the next door. The alien king said “Tell me some things about your country”. Milo said “Why don’t we tell it a dreaming story’.” Her mum said” I will ask. ” Her mum asked if they could, the alien king said “yes.” Milo told the story it went a bit like this. A long time ago a colourful crow kept being mean to all the black & white birds, so one day a bird pecked the crow on the leg and all the birds in the world got colours and that’s how the birds got their colours.
The door opened and the king said “you win. I will not blow up your country and you are free to go.”

Deep in the Australian bush, there was a secret, it was called lake Eyre. The animals of the bush would meet there every spring. This time they were surprised because they saw an alien ship. They were scared. So platypus jumped in to see what was going on in the ship. Kangaroo and emu peered closely into the water to see what was going on down there. Kangaroo and emu were wondering what was going on down there. Suddenly they heard a noise that they had never heard before . Kangaroo emu were wondering what was going on down there.Suddenly they heard a noise that they had never heard before.Kangaroo and emu followed the sound to were it was.once they were there they saw two people playing the digirido.Kangaroo and emu crept up and asked them a question. they asked If they could help them they said to follow them to the lake.

They said “Why do you want us to come to Lake Eyre with you”?. Kangaroo and emu didn’t answer. All they said was” Just come and look.” When they got there they asked “what is that”?

Kangaroo and emu said, we don’t know what it is. Our friend jumped in to have a look at it then suddenly robotic arms grabbed the people and threw them into the water and dragged the people in to the ship. When they were in the ship there was an alien king that said if you don’t tell me a good story otherwise we will blow up Australia
