Classic Volcano Experiment

That was a Good One!

I had made a volcano using some clay material. Inside that mountain I had fixed a bottle. Then for the color of lava I had put some red color in it which was mixed with baking soda. This was the initial arrangement.

In a glass I had a sufficient amount of vinegar ready. I explaned everything to the member of jury. Then to explain the working of volcano about how would it look like when the lava comes out of the volcano I poured the vinegar indide the bottle present inside the mountain. Then a reaction occured which seemed very much like that of volcano.

Barry's Response Aaah, the good old Classic Volcano Experiment. What science fair would be complete without one?

I hope you had fun with it. btw, what did you learn?
