Any person who's had the opportunity to participate in a science fair in elementary school is probably familiar with the baking soda and vinegar volcano. Today I introduced it to my son.
You'll need some clay to create the volcano. If you've really got some time and patience, papier mache works great too.
Ezra wanted to create a moat around the base of our volcano.
Besides the clay, you will also need a pan or cookie sheet for the magma flow, baking soda, and vinegar. The food coloring is optional.
Next, add a few spoonfuls of baking soda inside your volcano.
Here we added red food coloring to our volcano. Add this after your baking soda. Then pour on the vinegar!
Ezra wanted to try out different colors so he chose blue next. Each time we started a new eruption we had to add more baking soda and vinegar.
Since my video isn't working here's a volcano video from Mr. Wizard. He creates a volcano with fire and asbestos paper! See you!
