In this session, we will be creating a mini erupting volcano to model the inner workings of volcanoes in real life. Throughout this activity, we will be learning about the makeup of volcanoes, where they’re found, and what causes eruptions. In addition, we will examine the different kinds of volcanoes, the characteristics that differentiate them, and more!
materials needed:
- Plastic cup or bowl
- Water - 3-4 tbs of baking soda - 1 tsp of dish soap - 1 cup of vinegar to start with per eruption - 1-2 ziplocks - Paper towel/ table covering - Paper - Scissors - Pencil/pen - Tape/glue Optional: Food coloring or paint, measuring cups/tools, and coloring materials! how to
Step 1. Make sure your surrounding are covered so they don't get dirty by the volcano!
Step 2. Put the water inside of a plastic cup/bowl. Fill it about 2/3 full. Step 3. Add 3-4 tbs baking soda, 1 tsp dish soap, and little washable paint (if you have it) to your cup/bowl. Step 4. Mix these ingredients well. Step 5. Curve your paper around your cup/bowl to create a cone shape (there should be a circular entrance at the top). Step 6. Depending on the size of your cup/bowl cut about 1/2 - 3/4 of the paper to use OR use the entire thing. Step 7. This paper is going to the outside of our volcano. Step 8. If you would like to, decorate the paper to resemble a volcano. Step 9. The size of your paper will determine how many ziplocks you use for this step. Cut the zipper part off of 1-2 ziplocks. Step 10. Use this plastic to line the inside of your paper so it doesn't get soggy during the eruption. Step 11. Tape the plastic to the paper, and then tape the entire paper around your cup/bowl. Step 12. Add 1 cup of vinegar through the opening at the top of your volcano, and watch it erupt! Have fun with it and add more if you want to! The lesson
In this session of our Summer Camp, we are learning about all about volcanoes! We will be discussing what volcanoes are, diving into how they are formed and the different kinds of each volcano. We will also be examining the different classifications of the status of volcanoes, what magma is, and the structure of volcanoes, in addition to summarizing plate tectonics, and its relation to volcanoes and their formation. To enrich this learning, we will be making our very own volcano through materials found through your home! The creation and eruption of our own volcano will deepen the children's understanding of volcanoes overall, and build creative connections to the information presented. You can find our science concepts and craft explanations in the presentation below!
