Mentos VS Volcano experiment!

Monday was a crazy day. It started while we were supposed to do maths but Mrs Bound had something amazing for us. We could make our own Volcano with sand. We just had to write down what we thought was gonna happen, and ingredients, and what type of Volcano we were going to make. We were going to make a cinder volcano. A cinder volcano is a little volcano, Not that little, just shorter than normal volcano. Like a Plant growing. The ingredients are Vinegar, Dishsoap, Food coloring and water. We made a fake volcano experiment with sand. We used the water to make the sand stick together instead of it being dry since it will easily collapse. While we were finished up with the volcano we got the teacher to put in the ingredients. We didn't put in the Vinegar yet since we had to wait to put in the Baking soda, Water, and food coloring. Once we put that in we immediately put in the vinegar and stood back. Ours didn’t explode like a rocket, ours just spilled like you pouring juice in a glass cup. We waited for others to finish their volcano, A few minutes passed and people finally finished for us to do the coke and the mentos. Mr To’oala did it since none of us wanted to take a chance to get blown in the face. He put the mentos in the coke bottle and it blasted to the sky, But not that high, But yes it did go high but not like an actual flying rocket. People went away but some of us girls stayed to see if Mr To’oala was alright. Turns out it spat out again getting us wet. In my opinion the coke was better than the Volcano.
