We used 9 pennies and 2 marbals. Our reaction worked pretty fast. The reaction was faster than the boat was. Nine pennies was better than five pennies because the nose of the bottle stayed in the water better. For our next time we will use between 5 and 9 pennies so that the boat goes faster, but the nose still stays in the water.

I tried it with my Dad one night and we put it in the bathtub and it worked! It was going at a pretty good speed and it kept on moving for about a whole minute!

It went really slow but it worked a little bit. And it did move some and blowed out bubbles. lt was really fun watching. And when we pushed the whole down in the water, it went a lot faster.

We used lemon juice and baking soda and when we added the lemon juice to the baking soda we had to put the top on quickly!! Then the air came out through the hole in the top of the bottle and the boat started to move around in the water.

The first few times I tried the experiment, the paper from the baking soda plugged the hole in the cap. I eliminated this, and the boat zoomed quite fast for a few seconds. I found that about 8 marbles was an optimum number. However, the marbles sometimes block the hole also. Adding soap to the vinegar makes the reaction between vinegar and baking soda happen for a longer time, although the bubbles resulting don't propel the boat.

It had moved in the direction I wanted it to move in. And it had also floated in the direction the water was flowing in.

I used a aquafina bottle and I put toilet paper with baking soda and I put pennies instead of water. I quickly put vinegar and I closed the cap. The bottle went for a little bit and then the next thing I heard was POP!!!

When my mom and I tried this at home, it flew across the bathtub. It was cool. We used dark vinegar, so we could really see it working!!

When I did this experiment I didn't try anything different except that we put the bottle in our sink turned upside down so about a fourth of the bottle was under water. The first time I did mine I filled it about a forth full of vineger. When I tried that, my bottle got as hard as a rock and you couldn't sink it. Then I put in less than a fourth and it didn't do barely anything. When it was over a fourth it fizzed for hours, but when it was under a fourth it fizzed for a few minutes. I will also warn you it's not easy to clean out the bottle after you do the experiment.
