| First, we heard from our Reporter, Gavin. He shared an interesting article, Unearthing the Arabia. A steamship was unearthed in a corn field in Kansas recently after being stuck in the mud for 132 years. On the ship archaeologists found mule skeletons, food, and pickles still good enough to eat! |  |
Then, we heard from the Scientist, Rocco. He shared an experiment that we are all eager to try at home. What happens when you put Mentos in Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper? Will the reaction be the same? Will there be a physical or chemical reaction? Will the liquid overflow? Will the bottle explode? We discovered the Mentors react with the soda to create a GEYSER! The Aspartame sweetness in diet soda creates an even more explosive geyser than the corn syrup in regular soda.

Finally, we heard some long overdue presentations from some of our classmates. We've all been working hard creating presentations in Google Drive and five of our friends did some research on their own. Check out what they learned below.
