This is Isaac's 1st Grade science fair experiment. He wanted to make something that erupted like a volcano this year, and came up with the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment.
Isaac's hypothesis was that the geyser height would level off even as you put more and more Mentos into the bottle.
We learned that the height of the geyser depends mostly on the amount of Diet Coke. The number of Mentos falling into the Diet Coke matters also, but to a lesser extent.
Probably most importantly, Isaac learned how to draw a graph!
What is that weird foreign car in the background? ;-)
