Volcano Experiment

This week our learning about dinosaurs has led us in another direction. We have been learning about extinction and thinking about possible ways the dinosaurs died out as no one knows for sure. This has sparked a real interest with us about volcanoes. We have talked about what a volcano is and what happens in an eruption after watching some information videos. We then conducted our own experiment by making a volcano and seeing what would happen in an eruption using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda as our lava. It was super exciting and we all loved seeing it happen for real on our model! It has led to lots of brilliant discussions and explanations about features of our World, well done Reception!
