Children’s Cautionary Tales: Part I
February 28, 2007 · Print This Article
TD’s best friend Katie (my BFF Paige’s daughter, cooincidentally) rocked the hizzouse with her science fair project this year. After we watched the video I was all, “See, kids?! DO YOU SEE?! THAT’S how you do a science fair project! Good times for ALL!” Of course, now they’re all jazzed up to produce their OWN videos, and will likely give me no rest until I help write, film, and produce them, so thanks a WHOLE LOT, Katie! GOSH!
Oh, I kid. Totally kidding! Kid, kid, kid! I’m a kidder. It’s what I do. So it’s all good.
Anyhoos… Katie’s hypothesis? Well, why don’t I just let her tell you herself… (Gives me time to finish my American Idol recap. SHUT! UP! I can’t help myself! It’s a sickness.)
Note to self: Never pop a Mentos while drinking a Diet Coke. Phew! Crisis averted.
Very cool.
Now was the pop rocks an equal wieght ratio to the mentos?
I am sorry that was me channeling 9th grade science teacher mr. mossbuerg/
Yes, William, we did measure the pop rocks and mentos. At least I think that is why we had the postal scale out. . . . .
I must admit, we were inspired by this

Let that be a lesson to you. . . . and all of your posterity.
That is simply an awesome science project! Back in my day I did boring experiments like finding out what happened to milk when it spoiled. That was a stinky boring project…
[...] I don’t know when schools started allowing students to make video science experiments, but this is a very cool science experiment. Much better than the execution of this experiment done by teenage boys that is seen on YouTube all the time. [...]
The kid’s a natural. She’ll be hosting her own show by the time she’s in high school.
