Science Education Review, 9(2), pp. 63-69.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/6633Adding Mentos to an open bottle of Diet Coke can produce a fountain of liquid and froth extending several metres high. This activity can engage a wide audience of learners in a relevant and meaningful way, provide a model for creative science teaching, and help to develop learners’ attitudes towards school science as a subject. In this paper, the authors describe the use of this activity with primary-aged learners. Some challenges associated with the construction of the delivery mechanism for the Mentos are discussed, and ideas are provided for improving the performance of the fountain.enJournal ArticleField of Research::13 - Education::1302 - Curriculum and Pedagogy::130212 - Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy
