Geyser Videos!

Well we learned a few things today:

1. Keep the camera the right way up when you take videos as Mrs. McKay doesn't know how to rotate the video after you have finished!

2. Coke Zero makes the biggest Mentos Geyser!

Thanks Nate the cameraman. Sorry Mrs. McKay told you to turn it around, you were right and I was wrong! However Mrs. McKay was a little bit smart today as she figured out how to put videos on the blog all by herself :)

PS - You will not be able to see the video from the school computers as YouTube is blocked. Ask your teacher nicely if you can watch it through his/her computer!
