The boys in Mr McEvoy’s Extended Schools Science Club successfully completed the Coke and Mentos experiment today. They observed the dramatic reaction caused by dropping Mentos into a bottle of Coke, which resulted in a powerful eruption of foam. Through the experiment, they learned about chemical reactions, gas release, and surface tension. The activity was both educational and exciting, sparking curiosity and enthusiasm for science. Well done boys!
