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...
