Daredevil

The 5th graders have taken the last few afternoons to work on science experiments.  One afternoons was Water Bottle Rockets.  Those were a bit of a flub considering I only got one to explode and the water completely drenched me. 

So, the teachers decided that it would be a great idea the following day to do the experiment of Cola and Mentos.  So of course, me being an idiot volunteered to be the one placing the mentos into the bottles.  Annnnnddd what happened--I was drenched again, this time with Cola.  I was a sticky mess.  After the experiment was done, the kids start chanting for one of the teachers to drink the soda.  Personally, I did not understand the thrill so one of the other teachers jokingly poured soda in my mouth and the kids went wild.

Of course the kids all wanted to know what it tasted like--because you know that putting mentos in cola will change the taste drastically?  One of the other students (JM) came up to me and was just in awe.  "Ms. Schmidt, what did that taste like?  I just am shocked."  My response was "Flat pop?"  He responds back with "Ms. Schmidt--you are just such a daredevil."  Hahaha!!!  LOVE IT!
