When we were learning about volcanoes in Geography, we
learnt that they use a lot of force when they explode. To prove this, we
decided to do a science experiment, which used a bottle of Coke and a packet of
Mentos. During this experiment, we made a model city out of toys around the
bottle of Coke to show the impact of a volcano on a local village. Firstly we
put 5 Mentos into a tube which emptied
into the bottle of Diet Coke. After about 2 to 3 seconds, the coke exploded out
of the bottle. When it was over we saw that every part of the model village had
toppled over. If I were in that city at that time, I would be sure to be dead.
After this extraordinary experiment, all the information that we had gathered
was very useful seeing as we were still on the topic. Now we realise just how
powerful volcanoes are!
