Math and Science Club

Today we had a great first meeting of the Math and Science Club. We have 17 members as of right now and the kids are enthusiastic and excited about being a part of this club. Club members have ideas for trips and topics to study. They are also making decisions about who to nominate for student leaders and designing club t-shirts. 

Today we enjoyed learning about nucleation. We combined mentos and soda to make our own geysers. We tested a variety of different sodas and discovered that diet sodas were the most successful and that orange and lemon lime sodas were the least successful. We also were able to watch a video of a geyser show using the same ingredients we used at the following website: www.eepybird.com .

(Today I was so caught up in the experiment and excitement of the students that I forgot to take pictures to share, but I hope that in the future we will have pictures of all we are doing to share.)
