We had to have our own volcanic eruption of course! We used a model volcano made a few years ago in school and with a mixture of vinegar, baking soda and food colouring, soon had our own eruption going on.

Volcanoes
We researched volcanoes, how they are formed and how they erupt. We discovered the three different stages of volcanoes and watched videos of eruptions. We learned about some famous volcanoes and some of us were surprised to learn that Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh is actually an extinct volcano! It must be quite scary to live in a region where volcanoes can erupt at any time.

It is very satisfying watching the lava froth out of the crater but probably scary in real life!

I enjoyed doing that experiment. It was cool seeing all the lava explode out of the top and it went running down the side. The volcanoe it self looks really cool.
