| First recorded eruption of Mt. Florida |
Really! Since we have no elevation here, this was the highest thing on the beach.
We're moving into volcano week so obviously we built the model explosion.
I used the recipe from Currclick's, Volcanoes: Science Activities which fortuitously was a freebie several weeks ago. I think the recipe was very safety conscious as I upped everything to accommodate the larger volume of this vessel and it made for a pretty inactive volcano. I had brought 3 sets of materials so each kid could get one try and we went through them all just for this one. I don't think our version endangered any tourists so find a better recipe and do try this at home.
We used (successful in the end recipe):
4 c. water
a couple squirts of dish soap
6 TBL baking soda dissolved in the water
food coloring (I was low on red but they didn't seem to notice the strong yellow lava)
6 oz. distilled vinegar
