Much of it is same how to turn on LED on using a push button tutorials you might have come across on the internet, however I have used millis function to turn off the solenoid after 10 seconds. You can choose for how much time you want.
What you need
hook up
Once you have all hooked up as shown in above fritzing,
Upload the below code to your UNO. I have set 10 seconds represented by interval variable which in code is showing set to 10000 milli seconds.

Have fun, Feel free to contach in case you need any help.
