00:00Ready, lift, takeoff. Arm & Hammer is once again taking creativity, arts, and science to new heights this week for its second annual Rocket Day,
00:11inspiring students all across the country to get involved in STEAM, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
00:19Rocket Day was celebrated in more than 18,000 classrooms across the country, including this one in Queens, New York at PS 127,
00:27where scientist, aerospace engineer, TV host, and best-selling author Emily Calangirelli, known as the Space Gal, was on hand.
00:36We just launched hundreds of baking soda rockets. It's one of my favorite science experiments.
00:41It's easy to do, and the kids love it.
00:45A baking soda rocket is one of those perfect science experiments because it uses household ingredients like Arm & Hammer baking soda
00:51and other easily accessible ingredients like vinegar and pencils and tape.
00:57And so you don't need much.
00:59Calangirelli says this day isn't just about launching rockets.
01:02It's about launching futures and inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, artists, and innovators.
01:10The goal is to provide kids from all backgrounds an accessible and exciting way to explore STEAM.
01:16By combining the everyday magic of Arm & Hammer baking soda and hands-on creativity,
01:21we are sparking that imagination, that curiosity in kids, which is something that Arm & Hammer has supported for years.
01:30Calangirelli knows firsthand how life-changing these experiences can be.
01:34The other thing that happened in the last year is that I flew to space myself.
01:38So this year, not only were they building the rockets themselves, they got to watch my rocket launch,
01:44and hopefully that ignited the spark of curiosity in them to see themselves perhaps doing the same thing.
01:52Arm & Hammer baking soda is one of the most accessible science experiment ingredients.
01:57It's so cheap.
01:59I use it and everything.
02:00It's touch safe.
02:00It's taste safe.
02:02So one of my favorite ones is simply Arm & Hammer baking soda and vinegar, a little bit of food coloring.
02:07You can make rainbow bubbles.
02:09If you put that science experiment inside of a paint can and shut the lid, you can make a paint can rocket.
02:14You can put it in a cauldron and make witches brew.
02:18There's so many things you can do.
02:20Visit BakingSodaRocket.com to see how you can get involved beyond Rocket Day.
