Science - Mentos and Coke

We worked with Room 6 our buddy class today to conduct a fun science experiment.  We added Mentos to Diet Coke and observed what happened - impressive!  We discussed scientific vocabulary - Hypothesis, Aim, Equipment, Method, Results, Conclusion, Carbon Dioxide, Observations (listening, taste, hearing, looking, touch).  In the afternoon we wrote up our experiment using the correct scientific format as a writing task.  This was helpful learning in preparation for the Science Fair.  If you are interested you can watch the Mythbusters on You Tube to see what we have been up too.
