Experi-MINT - Mentos & Geyser Experiment



We were so lucky to have the 400 packets of Mentos donated to us by Brandlines and the Coke, Sprite, Fanta etc donated to us by Coca-Cola. It was fun to see all the different class's designs and to test our predictions. This is what the reporter and cameraman from the Manawatu Standard captured from the event. It is on stuff.co.nz/manawatustandard and will also be in the Manawatu Standard tonight (Thursday 23 September).
