Volcano

Last week we made the volcano from the Magic School Bus monthly science kit.  If you read my earlier review of the MSB science kits, you know I have mixed opinions about it..  However, this experiment actually worked really well!  We were all impressed.

First we paper mached (equal parts flour and water) a water bottle covered in black construction paper.

Then we painted it black. 

We added dishwashing soap (provided in kit), baking soda, food coloring (I only had a little green on hand--next time I'll get red or orange for more realistic lava), and lastly the vinegar.

 

 

 

Stand back and watch it erupt!
