This week in Nursery, we became little scientists as we explored the exciting Cola and Mentos experiment.
The children watched with amazement as we dropped mentos sweets into a bottle of cola and observed a spectacular fountain of fizz and foam shooting into the air! The experiment created a fantastic display, reminding us of the exciting eruptions and explosive effects of fireworks.
What did we learn?
Cola contains carbon dioxide gas.
When Mentos are added, they help the carbon dioxide escape very quickly, creating lots of bubbles.
The bubbles push the cola out of the bottle, creating a spectacular fountain.
The children were fascinated by the experiment and enjoyed watching the amazing reaction.
