The first part of the experiment was to make a presentation for the information to be put in. I had to gather the info and put into my own words. I used different websites to find information about the project. Making the presentation was probably the hardest part of the project.
The second part was to gather the equipment and materials for the experiment. The materials were all easy to gather, the materials were the sodas,the mentos, the bicarbonate soda and vinegar. We needed some measuring cups to know the exact amount of soda we were pouring in the cups.
The third part was to set everything up and start the video.We put 400ml of soda into the measuring cups, we used 5 mentos in each soda and we poured 500ml of vinegar into a measuring cup.The order of the video was going to be vinegar and bicarbonate soda then the soda and mentos experiments.
After filming the video I learnt the main cause of the soda and mentos was called nucleation. The surface of the mentos is pitted and every pit releases CO2 air bubbles. The process is quite quick so it creates a drink fountain explosion!!!!
