Explorers

On October 2, 2008, the Explorers investigated the properties of “nucleation.” Sounds innocent enough, right? The club members found out otherwise!

So what is nucleation? Put simply, it is the process of a phase change occuring rapidly due to a seeding opportunity. Okay, maybe that wasn’t so simple, so let’s investigate a little further, using the same materials the Explorers used: 2-liter bottles of pop and mint-flavored Mentos candies.
