Soda & Mentos Experiment
Hello again CDS friends! I was thinking about the fun times we had in science doing the Valentine’s Day candy experiments. Remember the Skittles, cotton candy and sugar cube experiments? I have another favorite candy experiment to share with you today: Soda & Mentos! Click the link below and watch me create other frothy fountains!

In this experiment I changed one component – the brand of soda. All the sodas reacted differently, so all the fountains were different heights. What else could you change? Maybe the amount of Mentos you drop into the soda? Or maybe try it with a soda that has been opened for a few days? What happens?
Here is a link to someone else doing the experiment—Is it just like mine or different?
