The kids and I did a little science experiment during our summer. It was on our to do list. We did the Mentos/Diet Coke experiment. The kids were excited to do it. They put on their goggles (thank you Lowe's Build and Grow Workshops) and were all set. Lincoln started us off by dropping the mentos in the bottle first.
Then, he ran!!! The other kids were watching from across the street. It immediately started to erupt.
Kris had the kit for the car that goes with this experiment. So, next we used it. Lincoln helped put it together.
By this time some of the neighborhood kids started to come outside to watch.
Off it went!
Hannah's turn.
Layton had to taste the minty coke when we were done.
He was so funny. He decided he was going to do it too.
I was sitting right next to him to help him and before I knew it he had dropped the mentos in and the coke began shooting out! It got all over his face! He didn't care. He loved it! Ha!
I tried to talk to them about the reaction and why it happens. Don't know if they got it or not, but they enjoyed the experiment!
