Volcano Project

Over Christmas break K decided to make a working volcano to present to her class. She researched the different types of volcanoes, how they are created and what makes them erupt. She drew a diagram of the internal features of a volcano on one side of poster board and the outside of a volcano with all the things that could occur during an eruption on the other side.

She used wads of newspaper taped around a plastic bottle covered with aluminum foil. She then covered the outside with paint and sand to represent landscape.

 For the eruption she used peroxide, yeast and red dye. She presented her project to her fourth grade class. They thought it was so cool! 

The video is a little long. If you don't want all the info, go to the last bit of the video to see the eruption.
