Create a model Rocket
Intro: As we are still in school and don’t know rocket science it is important to know that there are plenty of other ways of creating a model rocket launch.

Mentos and Coke Model Rocket Launch:
1. Buy a 2L bottle of Diet Coke and a roll of Plain Mentos. You can use any soft drink but room temperature Diet Coke is the best performer. (you can try using different types of soft drinks and getting students to experiment)
2. Find a big open area to launch your Mentos Coke Rocket. Don’t do it indoors.
3. Slide the paper cover off the Mentos (leave the foil wrapper on) and slip the roll into the bottle.
4. Quickly cap the bottle and shake it.
5. Gently unscrew the cap, just a little, until you start to hear fizzing.
6. There are 2 options. For younger students get them to place the bottle on the ground with the lid facing up so the coke shoots in the air. Older students can throw the lid of the bottle into the ground and watch as the bottle saws into the air.
