Exploding Coke!

Today we had Cousin Madison and Cousin Jonathan over for a little science experiment. We watched and did some hands on experimenting with the differences between physical reactions and chemical reactions. There was some great excitement and a lot of curiosity during the afternoon. Thanks to Deleise for this awesome idea! Now for some pictures!

What reaction does the Coke have to Salt?

What reaction does the Coke have to shaking it?

What reaction does the Coke have to Smartees?

HMMMM...What is in there?
What will the Coke do when you put in 7 Mentos? Wow!
These "formal"experiments were followed by some of the best kind of experiments. The kid kind! Nothing exploded, but they sure had fun!

Even Caleb was able to give this one a try!
We had such a great afternoon! I love home education!!!!!
