Today in class, my partner and I completed our final bell ringer project. We are going to do a Bell Ringer project using Diet Coke and Mentos Mints. We are going to take the class outside and drop the mints into a two liter bottle of Diet Coke and observe what happens. Then, we will take the class back inside and they will be put into group and we will hand out 4 ounce plastic cups to each group and sprite. Then, we will hand out Mentos Mints to each group and they will drop them into the sprite. They will be able to observe first hand what they observed outside using the Diet Coke. We will have the students write simiarlities and differences between the two projects. This would be an exciting lesson plan to use in the classroom because the students would be to watch the experiment and then they would get to do the experiement! :)
