Diet Coke And Mentos Science Fair Project
Directions this experiment should be done outside in an open area.
Diet coke and mentos science fair project. In this materials science project you will see if using crushed mentos candies instead of whole mentos candies which should sink faster in the soda will change the height of the eruption. Carefully remove the cap from the bottle and place the flat index card on top covering the hole. Cover the opening of the test tube with an index card or similar slim small paper.
Use warm pop and do the experiment on a warm day. Stack the mentos candies approx. Half a roll in the test tube.
Observe and explain the mentos and diet coke experiment. Remove the used diet coke bottle and place a new diet coke bottle in the same position making sure that the bottle is level and stably standing straight up. Place the soda bottle outside in and area that can get dirty.
Make holes in. Take one or two pieces of mentos candy out of the wrapper. Invert the test tube holding the cover in place.
Open the soda and place the. Add your four crushed mentos candies to your cartridge pouring them in from the wax paper. Carbon dioxide creates the bubbles in soda.
The goal of this project is to explore the eruption of carbon dioxide when the candy mentos dissolves in diet coke.
