Do your students struggle to understand physical reactions? This highly engaging science experiment is the classic Diet Coke and Mentos "geyser" experiment but with the added rigor of using the scientific method to answer the question "Which will cause a larger reaction: the sugar in regular Coke or the aspartame in Diet Coke?" This added element makes the experiment a fun way to add scientific inquiry practice for your students. Background knowledge on why the reaction occurs is included. TONS OF FUN! Students will practice the scientific method while doing an exciting physical reaction science experiment.
