Children make rockets using baking soda at a science workshop held at the Tobacco & Salt Museum in Shibuya. The museum is currently holding a special summer exhibition, “Science and Salt – Virtual Children's Zoo,” where children can learn the importance of salt for animals and humans and participate in several workshops related to salt. Admission is 100 yen for high school students and 50 yen for children in grades 4-9. The exhibition and workshops will run through Aug 31.

NaHCO3 is a salt chemically speaking.

The sign at the back says clearly 塩 (salt, sodium chloride, the stuff you put on your dinner), not sodium bicarbonate.

They should have called it 'Science and Bicarb'.

They should not allow children into the Tobacco Museum. I've been there it is just a big propaganda machine about smoking though the ages.

Cleo, NaHCO3はナトリウムの炭酸水素塩である。 I think usage of kanji 塩 is correct. Maybe the kids experimented with different salts.

Looks like Japan has had a change of heart on it's anti-terrorism stance.

The only connection I see between them is I enjoy both and neither are particularily good for you. Anyway, it looks like the kids are having fun so whatever.

As long as the photos are not of some obscure talentos in miniskirts, I enjoy them. This is a very good photo.

'Water rockets' have been around a long, long time. A lot longer than all this terrorism folderol. I remember buying my son one when he was in elementary school. Literally, kids stuff.
