Mentos and Coke.

I tried to post a video of my math/science tutor and I doing the famous Mentos and Coke experiment, but I can't get it to work. This is what happened. My math tutor and I explored the science behind spraying Coke using mint Mentos. The Mentos HAVE to be mint. This is because the mint type has a harder and more rough texture. This reaction occurs when the Mentos react with the carbonic acid, the aspirate, and caffeine in the Coke. Carbon dioxide is created, spewing the Coke very far.

I love it when college kids are my tutors. They are fun and motivated. I love my tutors. I think having tutors is a big part of home-schooling. For instance, Mom doesn't know Chinese. Who is supposed to teach me then? That is when a tutor comes in handy. Sometimes, Moms can't teach us kids all by themselves. They need to branch out sometimes. Having tutors is awesome!
