<br />
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="video-header" style="color: #525252; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Making Lots of Bubbles</span><br />
After a lot of debate, scientists are now saying that the primary cause of Coke & Mentos geysers is a physical reaction, not a chemical reaction. Their explanation is this process called nucleation.</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
All the carbon dioxide in the soda – all that fizz – is squeezed into the liquid and looking for a way out. It’s drawn to any tiny bumps that it can grab onto. Those tiny bumps are called nucleation sites: places the gas can grab onto and start forming bubbles.</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Nucleation sites can be scratches on a glass, the ridges of your finger, or even specks of dust – anywhere that there is a high surface area in a very small volume.</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
The surface of a Mentos is sprayed with over 40 microscopic layers of liquid sugar. That makes it not only sweet but also covered with lots and lots of nucleation sites.</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
In other words, there are so many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of a Mentos that an incredible number of bubbles will form around the Mentos when you drop it into a bottle of soda.</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
Since the Mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the bottom. The escaping bubbles quickly turn into a raging foam, and the pressure builds dramatically.</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">
All that pressure has got to go somewhere, and before you know it, you've got a big geyser happening!</div>
<div style="color: #6f6f6f; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">

<i>We participated in another KidsEdChat on Twitter yesterday using our class account @SHS_Room2. This week we talked about sustainability and what we're doing to help live a more sustainable life. We created our own personal rubbish bags following a video created by a fellow KidsEdChat class. We thought about what we were already doing at our school and what we could challenge others to do. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>These are the questions we were answering during the chat. It would be great to keep thinking about these as the year goes on especially as we're an Enviro School and want to make a positive difference to the environment we live in.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">1. What does sustainability mean to you?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">2. What things do you do in your school that show sustainability?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">3. How would you include sustainability practises into your day? Can you add some ideas of how you could help our environment to the padlet</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">4. Have seen any sustainable practises in you community?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">5. Watch the video and take some time to make a rubbish holder post a photo of it if you can</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">6. List somethings that you could do at school to reduce your school’s carbon footprint.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "josefin sans"; font-size: 18.81px;">7. What would you say to other students in your school about what they could do to develop sustainable practises at home and school?</span><br />

<i>Yesterday we were very lucky to get a visit from a Scientist - Dr Michael Rowe from the University of Auckland. He teaches Earth Science at the University of Auckland. You can find out more about him <a href="https://unidirectory.auckland.ac.nz/profile/michael-rowe">here</a></i><br />
<br />
<i>We were all really excited about having Michael come in and talk to us and we had lots of questions to ask him about Rare Earth Elements. He was brilliant at answering all our questions, we now know even more about Rare Earth Elements. </i><br />
