Volcano Fun!
We are learning all about dinosaurs, and what would a theme about dinosaurs be without making a volcano?
First, Hailey mixed up a mountain- we used:
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 tbs cooking oil
water
She formed a mountain around a small water bottle.
Then she painted it. We didn’t wait for the salt dough to dry before painting, and it worked out fine.
We set up a little area for our dinosaurs. Hailey added a little pond (lower left hand corner), some rocks, trees, dinosaurs, and of course the volcano.
Time to set off the volcano!! In the bottle we put:
warm water
red food coloring
Dawn dish soap
2 tbsp of baking soda
and…
Hailey added the vinegar!
Hunter and Hailey playing with the dinosaurs.
The dinosaurs heard that the volcano was going to erupt again, so they wanted to get a closer look.
Hailey loved it!
More lava!
Hailey wanted to see a bigger explosion, so when Rich got home, we mixed everything up in a soda bottle and put the top on the bottle and let the gasses built up for a bit.
Here is what happens when you do that:
