### sense in the lessons

In science lessons, fizzy drinks have carbonation: the gas is pushed in under pressure and bubbles out when you open the bottle. A shaken bottle sprays because the gas escapes fast. Flat lemonade has lost its carbonation.

### note

Uncountable. Verb: carbonate; adjective: carbonated (carbonated water). Science: more gas stays dissolved in cold water, so warm drinks go flat faster.
