Making a Fountain of Soda! | Summer Experiments | SciShow Kids

The video explores the science behind the tingly feeling in soda, caused by bubbles trapped in the liquid. It demonstrates how bubbles form and rise to the surface using a straw and a Chanel stick. The video also features an exciting experiment with Mentos and diet soda, creating a soda fountain. The science behind bubble formation and the role of surface texture in accelerating bubble release are explained. Viewers are encouraged to experiment with different variables to observe changes in the soda fountain's height.

What causes the tingly feeling when drinking soda?

• The tiny bubbles in the soda

• The color of the soda

• The sweetness of the soda

• The temperature of the drink

Why does a Chanel stick create more bubbles in soda compared to a straw?

• It is heavier than a straw

• It is fuzzier and has more surface area

• It is made of a different material

• It is longer than a straw

What is the purpose of using a card in the Mentos and soda experiment?

• To prevent the candies from falling too soon

• To stir the soda

• To cover the bottle after the experiment

• To measure the amount of soda

How do Mentos cause a soda fountain effect?

• They cool down the soda

• They dissolve in the soda

• They change the color of the soda

• They create bubbles rapidly due to their surface texture

What might happen if you use more Mentos in the experiment?

• The soda will taste different

• The soda fountain will be higher

• The soda will change color

• The soda will freeze
