Fantastic Friday the First

Today we got to make our volcanoes. We asked Mrs E to make sure she puts the recipe on the blog so we can make some more at home.
This is what we did -

• First we made our volcano shapes out of drink bottles, paper plates, alfoil and masking tape.
• Secondly the adults got all the ingredients and utensils together. We needed Carb Soda, vinegar, hot water, dishwashing liquid and food colouring. Then a plastic container, a funnel, a straw, a foam cup, a measuring jug and a dessert spoon
• Thirdly we put some drops of food colouring into our "bottle volcanoes" using the straw as a dropper and also added a tip of dishwashing liquid. Then we put our volcanoes under our chairs to do the next step.
• Fourthly we put 4 dessert spoons of Carb Soda into our plastic container and measured out enough warm water to 3/4 fill our bottles. (Mrs E already worked that out and had put a black mark on the jug so that we knew how much water to put in). We carefully poured the water into our containers and stirred it a little bit.
• Then we carefully poured that mixture into our "bottle volcanoes" using a funnel so it didn't spill.
• Then we carefully carried our volcanoes outside and sat in a group.
• Then our adult gave us a foam cup with vinegar in it. We poured the vinegar into our volcano and FIZZ it came up and bubbled over. It was really cool.

Abby and Jamee are measuring the drops of food colouring very carefully.

Will is carefully counting out 4 dessert spoons of Carb Soda into his container.

Mrs M helped Emily to pour some dishwashing liquid into her volcano.

After we mixed the Carb Soda and warm water, we poured the mixture into our volcano using a funnel. We had to be very careful. Danniella and Sam are doing a great job here.

Then we poured the vinegar into the top of the volcano. It fizzed out and looked cool. Olivia had blue lava - it might be from Iceland!

                          Cooper's fizzed out and made a big erruption.

                     Charlie shook his volcano and it spurted all over Indee!

After we made our erruptions, the adults had a turn. They made their volcanoes a bit differently. They made theirs out of a foam cup, alfoil and a paper plate. They put 4 spoonfulls of Carb Soda into the volcano. Then they put vinegar, food colouring and detergent into a container. Then they carefully poured the mixture into their volcanoes. FIZZ! Up it errupted!

Lastly, Mrs E made a bigger volcano. She made a volcano shape out of cardboard and put it over a bottle of Diet Coke. She took the lid off and quickly added 5 Mentos lollies - it spurted everywhere!

Now we are all cleaned up and ready to take our volcanoes home to show mum and dad! 

LOOK OUT!!
