About this listen

Learning with Larry the Lizard explains the physics and chemistry behind carbonated beverages. Through a dialogue between a human host and an energetic gecko, the text clarifies how carbon dioxide is forced into liquid under high pressure to create bubbles. It defines key scientific concepts like nucleation sites, which act as launch pads for gas, and explains why shaking or adding ice increases fizz. The material also describes how carbonic acid provides soda with its signature tangy flavor that disappears when a drink goes flat. Finally, the source provides instructions for a physical reaction experiment involving mint candies and diet soda to demonstrate rapid gas escape
