This is a Root Beer float project:
Here is how to do it:
- First the ingredients: A cup, a spoon, Root Beer, and vanilla ice cream.
- Now the recipe. Put the cup on the table. Put in root beer. Add ice cream. Mix. It will go to the top with bubbles. Drink.
- If you want to do it another way ask. I will tell you another way.

What a good memory! Now, can you tell everyone WHY it foamed up the way it did and what gas was released?
I forgot. I just know 1 thing. It is CO2.
CO2 is correct! Good job!
The foaming is due to nucleation, which basically means a process where something comes into being by growing outward from a disturbance at its center. The root beer is “disturbed” by the ice cream and starts foaming! I <3 Science!
