You’ve heard about Mentos and Diet Coke, right?  Well, Mr. Bartholomew’s 8^th grade science students wanted to know if the number of Mentos dropped into a bottle of Diet Coke affected the height it would shoot up.

Check out their newest video to see their results.

What do you get when you mix water, a little soap, and a bit of methane gas?  Just ask one of Mr. Bartholomew’s 8^th grade science students.

According to Mr. “B”, “Today in science, we looked at chemical reactions involving oxygen.”  The specific reaction students observed is written as CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O.  If the scientific notation throws you, here is Mr. “B’s” explanation in layman’s terms: “I bubbled methane gas into soapy water, and then lit the bubbles on fire.”

…And the Pies Have It!!

None.  4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20 = 60.  Because this total is the exact number of pies sold, there could not have been any pies sold on the first day.
