On Monday, November 8, 2010 the students of Einstein Club took their fingerprints using a couple of colorful stamp-pads and fingerprint record charts. Examining the different types fingerprints, we learned everything there is to know about identity and fingerprints.
We finished a little early - and since the girls were being such little angels (well most the time) – Aysha and I decided it would add some extra fun to our lesson if we went outside to do the ever-so-famous-and-truly-enthralling diet-coke and mentos experiment. It went great! We got to do it twice using the same bottle of coke and a half pack of mentos. The first time the coke shot out of the bottle in a fountain – almost soaking the spectators. The second time the bottle cap was totally off and the coke came gushing out for a couple seconds like a geyser. The ground was pretty much soaked with cola after we were through with the experiment.

| Lots mentos were threaded and dropped through a hole on the cap of coke, for the max effect. |

| Initiating the experiment. |
 |
| Coke spraying out about half a meter into the air the first time the experiment was tried. |
 |
| The coke gushing out all at once when the cap was taken off and more mentos thrown in for the second reaction. |
