Olympus Mons

Olympus Mons... homeschool style!! The kids had SO much fun making this volcano today. We just finished up our unit on Mars. While studying Mars, we learned that Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the entire solar system. With a combination of salt dough, baking soda, and vinegar we erupted a volcano right in the kitchen. They couldn't wait until Dad got home so they could show him, as well.
