Last Friday, we created our own volcanoes as part of our marble jar treat. We got to choose the colour of our volcano and everyone got a chance to make the volcanoes explode! The recipe for our volcanoes is below if you would like to try it at home.
You will need:
- A plastic cup 2/3 full with water
- 3-4 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon of washing up liquid
- A small amount of washable paint (depending on how strong you would like the colour to be).
- A bottle of vinegar
Method:
- Mix all of the ingredients (apart from the vinegar) together with the water inside the cup.
- When well mixed, start pouring the vinegar into the cup until the volcano begins to explode. Once the explosion has finished, add more vinegar and you should be able to get several more explosions.
Here’s one we made earlier!
