This just looked like a fun thing to try, and so we bought a 4-pack of fruity mentos (99p - we couldn't find mint ones) and 4 x 2ltr Tescos value sugar free cola (19p per bottle).

Whilst I don't rate this as particularly education as far as the science goes, it was fun to look at this as a problem solving case - how do we get all the mentos in there quickly and then how do we narrow their escape hole to generate a better fountain. Lots of things to try for next time :)

A very simple, fun and cheap little experiment to try with your kids.
