P3 Volcano Experiment Mrs Brown's Class

The P3 children have been learning all about volcanoes as part of their World Around Us topic.  They worked in groups using recyclables to make 3D volcanoes before painting them.  This week, they had the opportunity to take part in an experiment where a chemical reaction took place between baking soda and vinegar to cause a volcanic eruption.  They added food colouring and washing up liquid to give the effect of lava and volcanic gases.  The children really enjoyed the topic of Natural Disasters.
