My son is doing a science fair project and we can not find any scientific resources/background information on this. Could someone point us in a direction? Thanks in advance!

junebug63390 - There is not a described Science Buddies project directly related to this subject, but it is possible to create an observable experiment. What is fizz? I guess you could define it quantitatively as being the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in a known quantity of soda. You will have to find a way to measure the gas volume released under controlled conditions. I have some ideas as to how I might approach the problem, but I'd like to hear your ideas. If you are having other questions or issues, get back to us. Good luck.
