Students in Mr. Walsh's 8th grade science class took part in the classic Diet
Coke and Mentos Experiment this past week. Working in teams, student scientists
elicited prior knowledge of the scientific method to create a contraption that
would best get the Mentos into the Diet Coke bottle before it blew up! Focusing
on the concepts of physical and chemical reactions, student scientists
discovered that this was a physical change because no new product was formed.
There are plenty of simple science experiments that can be done right at home
with everyday items. Give it a try!
