In experiment 1, we tested if we put a paper towel in a cup and then in water, would it get wet?
Our conclusion was : no it did not get wet because two things cannot take up the same space at the same time. We also learned that air can create a blockage.
In experiment 2, we tested if a solid (Mentos) and a liquid (Diet Coke) could create a gas.
We went outside for this experiment because we didn't know how messy it could get.
Mrs. Cantafio put the bottle of Diet Coke into the snow, and dropped a package of Mentos into the bottle and then ran away (really fast)!
We observed that when the Mentos came in contact with the Diet Coke, the result was a huge gas explosion!
It looked like the Diet Coke was puking. It also reminded us of a volcano erupting!
