Volcanoes....

Today in J#1's school we learned about volcanoes. So we did a little experiment.


I had J#1 make a volcano from clay, which as you can see all of our clay was lumped together. It made for a very colorful volcano.
What is up with the faces that J#1 makes? I'll have to save it for another post..

Almost forgot J#3, he has to get a pic with the volcano, too.

We put the baking soda in the middle and then I let him pour a little vinegar in it and...
Viola we have eruption!!
They thought this was the coolest thing ever. Have I mentioned lately how fun it is teaching my children at home :)

I do this very thing to clean out my drains and never get tired of seeing it happen. Cool.
