Science - Volcanic Eruption, Baking Soda + Vinegar

Today during science with Mrs Kuruvilla, we did an experiment. First we got split into 4 groups then we each had to go to a station. We needed a beaker, measuring cylinder and once we had those items, the teacher came and added baking soda and vinegar into the measuring cylinder. Before she came around, we had to fill the measuring tube with water and red food colouring. Once the teacher added the baking soda and vinegar, we had to take pictures of the experiment exploding. Once the explosion was over, we had to pack up and clean the equipment.

- when a volcanic eruption occurs, lava comes out and spreads all over the land. It happens when a molten rock called magma rises to the surface. Magma is formed when the earth's mantle melts
(the experiment was small and it only worked once on our first attempt, I consider that a fail because it only worked once) care
