Obviously I could not finish of our Volcano studies without doing the well loved, classic, vinegar and baking soda volcano experiment. Now I know this really had more to do with chemistry than with Earth Science, but still... who could resist this one?I kept it simple by using a plastic water bottle and piling wet sand all around it instead of making one from clay or paper maché. I kept it fairly clean by doing it out doors.
My oldest daughter was in charge of taking video of it, but unfortunately she did not realize that the camera wasn't recording... oh well, no big deal.
Anyway, I did manage to snap a neat little picture before it was all done. Here it is.
Now, it was really much more exciting minutes before this, but my daughter had the camera and thought she was getting video. By the time we realized we weren't getting it, the "lava flow" had slowed quite a bit, but you get the idea anyway.We actually did this before the VOLCANO LAPBOOKS, but I just now got around to uploading the photo.
