The fifth graders at our school do an annual volcano day, where they put into practice what they've learned about volcanoes. They are responsible to create a volcano and then have it "explode." What fifth grade boy doesn't love a good explosion? Treyson paired up with his friend Berick (whose sister had to make one of these last year. I was glad he was with an "experienced" partner.). They formed their volcano out of foam insulator and used vinegar and Alka Seltzer to form the reaction. Theirs just kind of oozed out, but at least something happened! The best reactions were from Diet Coke and Mentos. Hmmm, if those things together create a massive explosion, what do they do to our insides? I don't think I want to try it.

Okay, that is too fun! That is some seriously fun hands-on learning. I'm also a little concerned about the diet coke explosive combo. I dare you to try it....let us know what happens to you okay.
