(3)How does it explode?


Word bank: carbon dioxide, coke, mix, bottle, fizz, form, explode,


What you need!

bottle

Coke

Mentos

spoon

adult

Prediction: I predict that the bottle with the Coke in it will expand and then explode everywhere when you put the Mentos into it.


Answers to questions up the top!


(1)The thing that happends when you put Mentos into Coke is that it will explode all over the place.


(2)The fome that comes out of a Coke bottle when you put Mentos into it is Coke all fizzed up.


(3)This is how it explodes. First the Coke and the Mentos comes together and then comes into an air bubble and because the air bubble gets bigger it had to explode.

Diagram



What actually happend when it exploded was that it didn't fizz up or go all over the place. All it did was stayed the same, how it was before.

I hope we can do the Coke and Mentos explosion again.

WARNING!!!
You need an adult to help you.

Dressing up for dinner

You will need a large block of chocolate, a flat tin plate, a knife and fork, a dice, and an old hat and coat.
The guests sit in a circle with the chocolate, plate, knife, fork, hat, coat etc. In the middle.

Each person rolls the dice. If a six is thrown, the player gets up, runs to the centre, puts on the hat and then, picks up the knife and fork and begins to eat the chocolate. One square is cut off at a time, and that must be just with fingers before the next piece is cut off.

While this player is eating, the rest of the team takes it turns to throw the dice. When another six is thrown, that guests runs to the centre, takes the hat and coat from the previous person, gets dressed and begins to cut the chocolate.

(If many six are thrown one after the other, there is a big rush as people begin to put on the coat only to have another person race out and take it after them.)

Word bank: centre, six, large, block, chocolate, cut, thrown, hat, coat,

On the weekend I saw six large birds sitting in the centre of the soccer field.

I got a large block of chocolate from the shops and cut it into six bits.

I got a new coat and hat from the shops.
