Mentos in Diet Coke; Cause and Effect


Parents: I recommend your supervision while doing
the following activities with preschoolers.

Here's how I spent 30 seconds of my last science and math class. Have a little fun with cause and effect and drop some mint Mentos into a rolled up paper tube and release into Diet Coke!

*Variations: Explore the reaction of vinegar and baking soda. Or fill a film canister 1/3 full with water and drop in an Alka-Seltzer. Replace the lid and flip it over, setting it down on the lid. Wait for the POP as it blasts off!
