12/2 Class

Today's class consisted of working on our Bell Ringer Projects. My partner and I chose to do our project about Diet Coke and Mentos Geyser's. In this project we would take our students outside and put Mentos in a tube and drop them into a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke. This immediately would cause a geyser! This project would be a great way to grab students attention and make them eager to learn. In this project our students would learn about what caused the chemical reaction between the Diet Coke and Mentos. We would also experiment with different kinds of pop, such as Sprite. Our students would hypothesize what they think would happen and why. My partner and I successfully completed our project today and submitted it to our instructor. I think that Bell Ringers are an excellent way to engage students in their learning. If they are excited about an activity it will cause them to pay close attention and learn much more.
