  • Mentos Ice Cube Prank – The Hoax!

    Mentos Ice Cube Prank – The Hoax!

    It’s an e-mail that probably showed up in your inbox… Create an Exploding Drink! The prank is based on the widely known phenomenon of dropping MENTOS® chewy mints into soda to create an erupting geyser. Instead of just dropping the Mentos into soda, the pranksters suggest freezing a Mento in the middle of an ice cube. Serve your friend a refreshing soda drink and garnish with the tainted ice cubes. When the ice cube melts, the Mento is exposed and the soda erupts everywhere. Great idea, right? Readers of the Boing Boing blog suggest that it’s a hoax… but no one out of the 600 plus people who posted a comment bothered to try it. We turned Steve Spangler loose to find out if it really works. http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/mentos-mix-an-exploding-drink-hoax

  • Instant Freeze – Soda Ice

    Instant Freeze – Soda Ice

    Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/instant-freeze-soda-ice It might have happened to you… You put a bottle of soda in the freezer for a few minutes just to get it ice cold. When you take the soda out of the freezer, it’s still a liquid (nothing unusual has happened just yet). However, the second you twist off the cap, the soda instantly freezes! The process is amazing to watch… but it’s a real bummer if you were thirsty (because it’s tough to suck ice out of the bottle). This is a great illustration of how carbon dioxide can lower the freezing point of water. Get some ice, some salt and some plastic bottles of soda water and try this very cool science demo.

    Hand Boilers – Hot or Not

    Order now at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/1177 Find out if you’re “hot” when you experiment with the relationship between temperature and pressure. Just wrap your hand around the bottom bulb and the liquid will go up to the top – not because the kids squeezed the boiler, but because the heat from their hands warms the gas, which pushes the liquid into the top chamber. After a little while, challenge your students to get the liquid back to the bottom of the boiler without turning it over. Works on the same principle as the old Love Meter, common in drugstores and five-and-dimes all over America.
