Term 2 Reflection

Hello welcome back to my blog today I am going to talk about lats term/term 2. My best part of term 2 was PE playing games/sports. another good part was doing sports. I also enjoyed art and wood tech a bit. my least favourite part was the hurumanu's because we had to do a lot of work. I showed resilience in PE  by trying in the sports like netball, volleyball, hockey and football. I did art, PE, wood teach and hurumanu's. My challenge for this term is to not get refereed or a detention.                                                                                                                                                                            Thank you for looking at my blog.

Why did the bubbles come up?

As the Mentos candy sinks in the bottle, the candy causes the production of more and more carbon dioxide bubbles, and the rising bubbles react with carbon dioxide that is still dissolved in the soda to cause more carbon dioxide to be freed and create even more bubbles, resulting in the eruption.
