Reinvent: What can you make out of an empty 2 liter

soda bottle? I can make a volcano out of an empty 2 liter

soda bottle. First, I fill it with red soda. Next, I cover it with paper Mache and paint it brown leaving it open at the top. Next I put on goggles, place my volcano in a field and drop Mentos in it and run away. The soda will react with the Mentos and the soda will shoot up into the air like a volcano.
