A Geyser is a hole in the earth that sprays water and steam. Today, we will make a geyser out of something else-soda! Since the geyser we are making is not natural, it will be a little different, but it will spray soda everywhere! Make sure you do this experiment outside!!!!!
What you need:
- A 2 Liter Bottle of Any kind of soda (Coke works best)
- Tape
- 1 roll of Mentos (mint works best)
Instructions:
- Take the cap off the soda and set it on the ground (do this on a sidewalk or black top, not on grass)
- Open the pack of Mentos and stick ALL of them onto a really long piece of tape in order to drop all the mentos in at once
- Brownies, move at least 7 feet away!
- Have an adult hold the piece of tape with all the Mentos attached to it over the opening of the soda bottle.
- Quickly lower the tape with the Mentos attached to it into the soda bottle and back away quickly.
- Now watch the soda geyser!
What happened?
- Chemical reaction occurs when the mentos candy and the Soda mix
- Carbon Dioxide is now released when Candy and the Soda mix
- This gas pushes the liquid or coke out of the bottle
- The soda geyser erupts
