There She Blows!
When it was Mo’s turn to be “Scientist of the Week” at school, he knew exactly what he wanted to demonstrate for his classmates.
I was a little nervous about being able to create an erupting volcano, but it turned out to be pretty easy.
The kids enjoyed it, and Mo thought he was hot shit.
Here’s the steps:
Materials:
playdough/clay
empty film canister
tablespoon baking soda
tablespoon vinegar
food coloring
1. Use play dough or clay to form the shape of a volcano.
2. Make a hole in the top big enough to tit an empty film canister inside.
3. Insert empty film canister into hole.
4. Now add the ingredients to form “molten lava”. Put the baking soda and food coloring in the film canister first (this way the color will surprise the audience) then pour the vinegar into the canister.
ERUPTION!!!!!!
I can’t wait to do this with Ben. He will love it.
Thiere is a similar experiement to do with a rocket. Baking soda and vinegar are a great combo
It’s super easy. You should try it!
That’s funny how all the kids got a kick out of saying BUCKING soda.LOL
ALL the kids really caught on to that “BUCKING”soda. LOL. I had to keep myself from laughing in the classroom.
That’s really cool. I’m going to try it with my daughter.
What a clever way to turn ingredients from the kitchen to scientific experiment. What a scientist Morris has become. Congratulations hotmama.
Yep, he’s quite the budding scientist. That’s one of his favorite things to do now: take things from the kitchen and do “experiments”.
I tried this! It works! Thanks, and it was really easy.
