Science Extravaganza in Area 45

Today the students had the chance to participate in some hands-on Matter-related science experiments. You can find all the experiments on the Exploratorium site here. If you would like to try them at home, here are the direct links to the experiments: "Outrageous Ooze,"  "Bubble Bomb," "Remote Control Roller" and "Ballon Blow-Up."

We also went outside to try the "Mentos in Diet Coke Experiment." The Mythbusters video below explains exactly what is going on when you put a Mentos candy in Diet Coke. I have also added some pictures of the students in action. It was really fun to see all of the students so engaged.
