In Year 3, we have recently been learning about volcanoes!
We learned about the different types of volcanoes, how they are formed, and the science behind volcanic eruptions. To bring our learning to life, we made paper mâché volcanoes, erupted them using a mixture of water, dish soap, bicarbonate of soda, and vinegar and showcased this to Year 1.
The students had a blast (pun intended) creating their paper mâché volcanoes, and their creativity and imagination really shone through as they decorated them with paint and other materials. They were also engaged and curious as we discussed the chemical reactions happening inside the volcano as we added the eruption mixture.
When it was time to erupt the volcanoes, the students were thrilled to see their hard work come to life. They were able to witness first-hand how the chemical reaction caused the eruption and the lava (in this case, the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar mixture) flowed out of the volcano just like in real life.
We can't wait to continue our scientific adventures in Year 3!
