Terrific Scientific

Today we went to our favorite indoor playground

 for science class and to meet up with a fellow homeschooler.

Teacher Becky's lesson of the day was volcanoes.

The activity started with the kids building their own volcanoes using a water bottle, sticky paper, scrap paper, and yellow pieces of tape.


Adding "lava"

ready!




After they were done, the fun really started.
A couple of tablespoons of baking soda


  
Making sure it's all in there







the secret ingredient (Dawn dish washing soap)




Vinegar dyed green for visual effects

and voila!    



 





                                                               Finally the Picture of the Day

Priceless!

This was a really fun science project and I'm sure we'll be making many more volcanoes.
