Kia ora bloggers,
Guess what I did in the weekend? Since my little brother likes explosions so much, I decided to make a homemade volcano! My mum helped too.
Here are the things you need to make it!
1. Party Hat
2. Tiny Bottle
3. Dark Grey Paint (Optional)
4. Light Grey Paint (Optional)
5. Red Food colouring (Optional)
6. Baking Soda
7. Vinegar
Instructions📝
1. Cut the top of the party hat
2. Put the bottle inside the party hat (you should just see the tip of the bottle)
3. Add the baking soda inside the bottle and then add the vinegar
4. Watch the volcano erupt!
Science🧪
A chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda causes this explosion! 🌋
✨Tip✨
If you want your volcano to be extra special you can paint the party hat to make it look like a mountain. You can also add red food colouring to make the vinegar look like lava. 🌋
Here a some photos of our volcano!
Blog you later!
This looks like a great project. Thank you for setting out your information so clearly. Here is a coincidence. On Sunday 25 July I walked around the crater rim of the (hopefully) extinct volcano on Rangitoto Island. It was amazing to see the rock formations.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we both had a lot of fun. Well done with your science work.
