Chris and I bought the book (by Sean Connolly) for the boys: 64 daring experiments for young scientists. We finally got around to doing the Cola Geyser (first experiment in the book) because we don't usually have a 2 liter of Diet Coke (corn syrup in regular Coke ruins it) and mentos just laying around. It was awesome and we're totally going to have to do this again.
1. Slide mentos into freshly opened 2 liter.
The experiment calls for 12 mentos, but this wasn't even half that...
Chris couldn't run away fast enough (and I couldn't move fast enough to get the whole geyser in)...
So awesome. Oh, and definitely buy 2 packages of mentos (gotta have one to eat). Love, Sara
