Our Diet Coke and mentos experiment

We’ve been learning about volcanos this month–and we decided to show the children a different kind of eruption.

The teachers experimented with just 4 mentos at first. The children observed.

Pretty cool! What would happen if we added an entire package of Mentos? Would our eruption be higher–maybe even higher than the tree behind it? Let’s find out. Zoom in on the kiddos’ faces, if you can πŸ˜‰.


Their hypothesis was correct. The geyser was HUGE. We also learned about actions and opposite reactions with this experiment!
