SciShow Youngsters just lately revealed an up to date video a couple of “traditional” science experiment. That experiment is dropping Mentos candies right into a bottle of soda pop. However earlier than doing that and explaining what occurs, the video briefly explains how drinks are carbonated and why the bubbles stick with some objects higher than others. For those who’re on the lookout for one thing enjoyable and academic to do at house together with your children this weekend, watch this video then do the experiment. I feel we’ll give it a go this weekend.
