To go along with the Ancient Rome theme (Pompeii), we had our volcano eruption Monday! It was so much fun! Each of the kids took a turn mixing in the ingredients.

J12 started out but we had a dud. Well, not really but the top of the volcano was too tall above the bottle inside so dad had to cut the top off.

L8 cracked us up by being over-dramatic....as you can see by the bottom right pic!

After we were done, the kids came in & journaled a bit about what happened & drew a pic of it erupting. We found the pages for free from NotebookingPages.com.
To make the 'lava' we mixed 4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 C warm water, 5 drops dish soap, 5 drops red food coloring, & 1/2 C white vinegar last.
We are going to try it out again later today but this time I want the kids to use different measurements of ingredients & see if it still 'erupts'. They will journal again with their findings.
Hope you have a great day!

I love all your great pictures with your kids making this volcano project. We are about to study volcanoes in science, and my kids will love exploding a volcano.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was tons of fun & they each took a turn at it. Your kids will definitely love it.
