How do temperature and surface area work together to change fizz speed?

Show of hands — before you project anything

Predict first: same tablet, two glasses, only the water temperature is different. Which finishes first, and why do you think so?

  • A Way more than you'd guess
  • B About what you'd guess
  • C Way less than you'd guess

Count the votes out loud. Hold them to it — then watch.

Discussion prompts

  • Predict first: same tablet, two glasses, only the water temperature is different. Which finishes first, and why do you think so?
  • Predict first: you crush a tablet to powder before dropping it. What about the tablet has changed that could speed up the fizz?
  • Heat and crushing both speed the fizz. What do they have in common — what single thing are both of them increasing?

Where it shows up in real life

  • An antacid tablet racing to dissolve in a warm glass of water versus a cold one
  • An effervescent vitamin-C tablet erupting faster when you snap it in half first
  • Cold soda holding its fizz longer than warm soda once the bottle is open
