Mythbusting- Monday- 3rd period
Class was back in the Danger Shop warehouse today, but Kitty was handing out brightly colored ponchos as the students walked in. There was a table set up with soda bottles, and behind that... well, they'd get to that.
"Welcome to the Danger Shop, where you can't get hurt but you presumably can get messy," she greeted them. "We're starting with a common myth: if you pair Coke and Mentos, it'll explode. The thought is that the candy produces carbon dioxide, which reacts with the carbonation bubbles, causing an explosion. Pretty simple.
"This week you're going to put Mentos in Coke. Or, I have other carbonated beverages you can try, and you can see if there's any difference. And once you're done with that, we've got more."

Re: Experiment!
He was, honestly, a little disappointed that it wasn't more, but it was still pretty cool, and he was definitely ready to give it another try.
"Next time," he decided, "I wanna add some glitter."
Because it wasn't messy and sticky enough, apparently!
