Volcanoe Eruption



My reading groups Kakapo and Pukeko had been learning about Volcanoes in the past weeks so we were really lucky to acctually create a Volcanoe but also erupting it.

We used these Materials:
  1. Little Bottle
  2. Baking Soda
  3. White Vinegar
  4. Clay
  5. Dishwashing Liquid
  6. Piece of Cardboard

First we got a piece of cardboard and placed the little bottle in the middle, then we used the clay to moled it into a shape of a volcano, while we were doing that some boys went out side and mixed red food coloring with white vinegar so when we explode it, it looks like lava.

Then we all went outside and put the volcano on top on the drain with the cardboard beneath it then we put baking soda inside the volcano with a little bit of dish washing liquid to make it foamy then added white vinegar, it was slowly coming up then it exploded. We did it a couple of times and then on one go we didn't add dish washing liquid but it just did the same thing but then the girls had a go and it just went everywhere.

We loved doing this and learning about volcanoes, we all learn't something new everytime we were reading or researching about it.

Here's a link to the video on the volcano we did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p_tboe6MJ4&feature=em-upload_owner

Hi Melenaite, I am so glad that you enjoyed learning about volcanoes. I found it really interesting to learn about as well, even if we did all smell like vinegar after our experiment!
