We spent an ample amount of time in February doing science fair projects...all involving soda pop.
Trevor did his on the effect of mentos in different types of pop (sprite, sprite zero, coke and diet coke). That was quite the experiment in the cold. A bit costly as well as we had to by 2-liter bottles of each pop and several packs of mentos. Then, if you do the experiment wrong, you have to buy more 2 liter bottles of pop.
It was quite comical to watch the video of Trevor, Chad, and I doing the experiments (nope, it's not making the blog...sorry!) and trying to collect the data. Trevor kept forgetting to turn off the camera and got some pretty funny conversations between Chad and I...when we thought the camera was off...and someone forgot to hold the ruler at the point where the soda pop had exploded to so the other person could measure it. Obviously, there was a reason that neither Chad nor I are scientists by profession.
Matt explored soda pop through sight and taste. He colored sprite with food coloring to see if what people saw effected how they tasted. We were so shocked that for the most part...it worked. We had a few people that had keen taste buds and figured out what we were up to.
