Volcano in the sand-pit
Today for science we started to learn about fizz. We learned that carbon-dioxide creates fizz, and we watched a Suzy Cato video where she showed lots of fun experiments creating fizz using carbon dioxide. We decided to create an experiment of our own. Imogen, Regan and Josie built a fabulous volcano in the sand-pit and we put a cup of malt vinegar in a crater at the top. Toby poured in a couple of table spoons of baking soda and we all stood back to see what the reaction would be. Here is a video made by Alyssa and Samara showing exactly what happened...
thank you for your comment Cruz. The recipe for volcano in a sandpit is: make a volcano, put one cup of vinegar in the volcano (keep it in the cup). Then add 2 Tablespoons of baking soda to the vinegar and stand back and watch. From Room 4, LAS
Wow that was really cool. Last term we did something like that too.
