Great Geysers

Have you seen the amazing MENTOS Candies soda eruption? This kit not only shows you how to get the best "KABOOM!" from your candy, but explores the science behind the sensation with more than a dozen related experiments. You'll create a spectacular geyser (up to 25 feet high!) using only the included candy and a bottle of soda. The Geyser Tube was created especially for this amazing experiment, and allows you to safely load and dispense the candy into the soda so that you can control the timing and create the most incredible soda eruption possible. Grab a bottle of soda and call everyone--this experiment is too amazing to miss (and so is the science behind it!) Using this kit you will:
o Make your own erupting soda fountain (with three different geyser shapes!)
o Experiment with other substances that make the reaction work.
o Make noodles dance.
o Perform safe chemical reactions that fizz and foam. And many more fun activities! Perform more than a dozen soda pop science experiments as you discover the power in the pop. You'll also experiment with safe, fun fizzing reactions, learn cool facts about Soda POP (who knew it had roots that go back over more than 2000 years?) and the science behind burping, and more! Science Principles explored in this kit: Chemistry, physics NOTE TO PARENTS: If you are looking for a way to introduce your little scientist to chemistry, physics, and the phenomenon of chemical reactions, you really can't find a more spectacular set of experiments. The experiments in this kit are not for the faint of heart (or lab space) so make sure you pick a good spot (such as outside, or the living room of someone you really, really don't like) and wear clothes that won't suffer from a thorough diet coke shower (like bathing suits or a rain jacket) during your geyser experiments. Some of the other experiments will be safe to perform in a sink or on a counter top. Once you find an appropriate lab space, get ready to be amazed--you won't believe how cool this kit is! Great GEYSERS LEARN MORE! An internet sensation, the source of several Guinness World Records, and the most spectacular food-based chemical reaction that you will ever see, the Mentos Candies/Diet Soda reaction has taken on a life of its own. This reaction has been featured on countless television shows and internet videos. Popular science detectives the Mythbusters devoted an entire episode to discovering the science behind the explosion, and you can explore and discover, too. The geyser tube allows you to control the reaction so you can test the timing, number of Mentos Candies required, and geyser height. Use the caps to see if the geyser gets even higher in the most fun fluid dynamics experiment of all time. You'll be able to explore and learn about all kinds of related fizzing, geysering, foaming reactions, such as why shaking a soda pop can is a bad idea (and how you can get away with it) why burping has scientific roots, (it's OK, mom, let me just explain the science behind what just happened) and more! Get ready to be amazing! The current world record for Mentos Candies geysers (usually up to 25 feet) was made even higher using nozzles--over 32 feet!) Included in this kit
