Baking Soda Volcanoes

C1 made the classic baking soda volcano today. They have been (and will for the next week or so) studying earth science. This is one of those classic science project projects. It’s simply. It’s safe. It uses common household materials to do it. Make a volcano cone out of modeling clay. I simply put clay around an inverted paper cup and cut out the bottom of the cup. Put the clay volcano over a small plastic container containing baking soda and flour. Combine vinegar, warm water and a few drops of red food coloring in a small bottle. Pour the liquid slowly into the container with the solids. Then stand back and watch your volcano erupt!

    You have a really nice site. Lots of ideas and the children look so happy in the photos.

    I also teach ESL, in Hungary. I love it. My blog is about my life there. Please take a look.

    Thanks so much for stopping by T. The last time I taught in Korea, my blog was more of a journal. This time around, I want to make it more of a resource for other teachers.

    I’ll also add you to my blog roll.
