HELLO THIS IS JACOB AND JON

 AND WE ARE STARTING A NEW POST ON THE SKINNY  THIS WEEK  CALLED MYTH BUSTING WITH JACOB AND JON.

THE MYTH BUSTING POST IS EVERY MONDAY.   I BOUGHT THIS NEAT BOOK CALLED MYTH BUSTERS SCIENCE FAIR AT THE BOOK FAIR AND ASKED MR. ALVARO IF WE COULD DO SOME OF THE EXPERIMENTS IN THE  BOOK AND HE SAID YES.

  THIS WEEKS QUESTION IS “ CAN MENTOS AND DIET COLA REALLY MAKE A GEYSER?”

SO LAST MONDAY,  WE GOT THE STUFF AND MR.A TOOK US OUTSIDE . THEN WE PUT THE MENTOS IN THE POP.   THE BOTTLE WAS SILENTLY FIZZING UP AND SUDDENLY THE POP TURNED INTO A HUGE GYSER AND SWOOSHED UP OVER 4 FEET HIGH AND EVERYONE WENT WHOOOAAAA.

SO WE CONFIRMED THAT MENTOS   AND DIET COLA CAN MAKE A GEYSER.

SEE YOU NEXT MONDAY WITH A NEW MYTH TO TEST.

Dec 20

Posted by jalvaro in Home | 3 Comments

Its Nicole.

 Today I interviewed a Plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs are these cool dinosaurs that lived a long time ago.                                                                     

What is your nickname?

My nickname is the near-reptile because in the water Im always near.

How do you eat your food?

I eat my food like this, I eat stones to grind my food up while its in my stomach.

What do your teeth look like?

My teeth are serated backwards so when I get  a fish in my mouth it cant get away.

Whats the shortest neck vertabrae of a Plesiosaur?

The shortest would have to be 28 vertabrae.

W hen was the Plesiosaur found?

The Plesiosaur was found in 1820,Lyme Regis in England.

Wow those are some cool things. Come back next time and see who  we get to talk.   If you have a dinosaur you want me to interview, hit the comment button and let me know.
