3. Prediction
I think that the Mentos will dissolve.
I think coke will explode like 50cm high.
4. Materials
2 liters of coke
5 pieces of Mentos
Safety goggles
Meter stick
Paper clip
5. Procedure
1. Talk about how will we do it.
2. Collect all the materials.
3. Find safe place outside.
4. Place the soda in the trash bin.
5. Put on safety goggles
6. Attach the meter stick to the trash bin.
7. Unscrew the bottle.
8. Put the Mentos on the paper clip.
9. Put the Mentos in the bottle.
6. Experiment (data collection
and result)
1.The stream of coke went up
really quickly and it was higher
than 1 meter.
2. The stream disappeared
quickly.
3. Half a liter of coke remained in
the bottle.
4. Mentos didn’t dissolve.
7. Conclusion
We found out that if you put
Mentos in coke it will explode.
We found out that coke
explodes higher when you put
more Mentos in it.
8. Today, in our 4th grade ESL
class we did a soda and 5
Mentos experiment. First, we
talked about how we are going
to do it and where will we do it.
Second, we got all the
materials that we needed.
Third, we went out to a safe
place outside. Then, we put the
coke in to the trash bin and we
attached a meter stick to a
trash bin. Next, we put Mentos
on a paper clip. Then, we put
Mentos in the coke. And finally,
we found out that the coke
explodes high up in the air
when you put more Mentos in
it.
