Volcano

As part of a Rube Goldberg project (expect a future post on this), one group of students in my high school physics class made a volcano base out of clay.  They had no need for the volcano base after completing the project, so I asked if I could have it.  Being the nice students they are, they let me have it!  Super cool!

I have yet to build a homemade volcano with my kids, but it is on my summer to-do list.  Now I have a base that I can use.  There are several ways to make a homemade volcano, but they usually involve baking soda and vinegar.  Food coloring can be used to make the eruption look more like lava.

We haven't done this yet, so no videos or pictures to post, but I'll put them up later this spring/summer.
