Make Your Own Volcano
Dateline: 10/21/97
Last week we visited Volcano National Park in Hawaii. This week weÆll make our own volcano. Remember, always share an experiment or project with an adult!
Supplies
- soup cans
- vinegar
- water
- baking soda
- teaspoon
- red food coloring
- sand, soil or leaves
- clay (to be used to build a mound around the volcano)
What to do
1. Place the can on the ground outside or on a paper plate or tray, if inside.
2. Build a mound around the can using soil, sand, leaves, clay, or paper to create your own image of a small mountain.
3. Fill the can 1/2 to 3/4 full with vinegar. Add a few drops of red food coloring, then a spoonful of baking soda.
4. Watch the lava flow down the sides of the volcano as the chemical reaction between the acid and baking soda occurs.
5. Repeat as long as the vinegar and baking soda lasts.

Volcano project was inspired from the book More Mudpies to Magnets. Publishers Gryphon House, Inc. were nice enough to let me share their articles with you. Please visit their website. They have some great books for kids!
