Can Crushin

Can Crushin

What you need:

Empty soda can

Stove

Cooking Tongs

Bowl

Cold water

What to do:

1. Rinse out the soda can to remove any leftover soda.

2. Fill the bowl with really cold water(we added some ice cubes to ours)

3. Add a tablespoon of water to the soda can.

4. Put the soda can on the stove burner and turn the burner on.(see pic A)

5. You'll start to hear a bubbly sound and then you will see the water vapor coming out of the can. Let is sit for about a minute.

6. Take the tongs in your hand, palm facing upward, and grab the can firmly with the tongs close to the bottom.

7. In one QUICK motion, lift the can off the burner, turn it upside down and plunge it into the bowl of water.
