A Very Volatile Volcano

3V had an impromptu extra lesson on Friday afternoon when one of the pupils brought in an amazing model volcano.  We took the learning outside the classroom in order to investigate further...

By filling the volcano with bicarbonate of soda, and piping through some vinegar, we were able to watch the dramatic scientific reaction as the acidic vinegar met the alkaline bicarbonate of soda.  

We will be taking a more in-depth look at volcanoes later in the year, and finding out what makes a real volcano erupt!
