Science At Home Today

I bought some Diet Coke and some Fruit Mento's and dropped a Mento in with the Diet Coke. There was a little bit of fizz that went out of the bottle but not much. I got the idea from the YouTube Video.



Next, I added baking soda and some vinegar into some Diet Coke to see what it would do. The baking soda floated to the bottom, while the vinegar made the Coke bubble up. After I stirred the baking soda from the bottom, it fizzed up, too. I learned from these experiments that there are some things that can fizz up in Diet Coke besides Mentos.

Next, I tried to see what would dissolve faster in Diet Coke: a dog treat or a cherry tomato. I'm still waiting for the results but I'll check on the experiment in 24 hours from when I started the experiment. I'll record which ones had dissolved more.

  1. Hi Ryan

    I have a question about your experiment and the video from utube. How did they get the pop to squirt so high in the air if it didn't really do that for you? And, how did they get the different bottles to go off at the right time? That is a pretty cool video clip!

    It sounds like you get to do some pretty cool science experiments. Do you want to be a scientist when you get older? They get to use some very interesting things in their experiments!

    Good job on the blogs. You are writing really well. I enjoyed reading them!

    Love, Aunt Carol
