Let the bubbles tell the story. Using a hands-on lesson, budding scientists learn how carbon dioxide in soda interacts with objects placed in the soda. The lesson explains how the gas adheres to the surface of the objects based on the...

A messy fountain is potentially an energy experiment in disguise. Groups investigate the variables in creating a fountain from soda and Mentos. The last activity in a six-part series on energy has the class observe the fountain in terms...

What is it that makes Mentos candy and cola such an explosive combination? Find out through scientific inquiry and experimentation. This presentation walks learners through the scientific process and allows them to speculate whether it...

Students as a class create a fountain using both coke soda, and mentos candy. In this science activity, students test which combination of coke and mentos products produce the tallest fountain. Students use the scientific method to track...

In this chemical reaction worksheet, students experiment with soda and Mentos candy to observe a chemical reaction. Students describe the reaction, identify the investigation as descriptive or qualitative and make a prediction if the...

Young scholars will learn about volcanic eruptions, the scientific method, gas saturation, and bubble nucleation by participating in a popular experiment with Mentos candies and soda.

Students play the role of engineers as they test, design and build Mentos fountains - a dramatic example of how potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy. They are challenged to work together as a class to optimize the design...

In this instructional activity, Mentos candy and different types of soda are used to show examples of nucleation, surface tension, surface area, polar attractions, and supersaturated materials. A video will be used to show the examples...
