Science Experiment Day One

Hello Readers. Welcome to my blog

Today I started experimenting with Mentos and fizzy drinks to see what would happen with different types of drinks and different amounts and flavours of Mentos. I also wanted to know if it made a difference if the drinks were diet or full sugar.
I started with one bottle of Diet Cola and one bottle of full sugar Lemonade.
I took the lids off and put one rainbow Mentos in each bottle.They both fizzed up about 4cm only. I was a bit disappointed with that amount so I put in 5 more Mentos in each bottle. That didn't make any more fizz.  
Tomorrow I will try again with putting a whole packet in each bottle as soon as I open the lids.
I also wondered what would happen if someone ate a Mentos and drunk fizzy at the same time. 
I asked Maddock in my class if he will try this out for me tomorrow and he has agreed. So it might be quite funny to see how Maddock thinks that feels in his throat. Come back tomorrow and find out!

  1. Hi Arlo, I'm really pleased you were able to do your experiment with Keri. It was a shame that the frizzy didn't explode up to the top of the fence like you predicted. Your blog post is really clear to understand and I like how you have explained what you did step-by-step. I also like your wonderings. This is just what a good scientist would do. I am looking forward to seeing what happens if you put more mentos into the fizzy. I also think getting Maddock to be apart of your experience will be very funny! Keep working hard to earn your experiment time!

  3. Hi Arlo, thanks for sharing your experiment, I was very interested to see what would happen. I like your idea about putting more Mentos in the bottle to begin with, I wonder if that will make a difference?
    I also like the accurate way you have presented your post, it makes it easy and interesting to read.
    I hope you have thanked Keri for kindly buying all the materials for your experiments.
    Mr R
