You must be excited to perform this volcano experiment. It is like witnessing a real volcano erupt right before your very eyes! But this version is much smaller! It is recommended that you perform this activity outdoors because it could get a little messy. Now, let's get started…
The first thing you have to do is make the volcano itself. Create the volcano by taking the cup and tablespoon for measuring the ingredients and mix together 6 cups of flour, 2 cups of salt, 2 cups of water and 4 tablespoons of cooking oil. Start moulding the mixture into a cone shape once the mixture is smooth and firm. Feel free to add more water into the mixture if the resulting material is not smooth enough. Place the soda bottle in the baking pan before you start forming your volcano. You will be moulding the cone shape around the bottle, allowing the mouth of the bottle to function as the mouth of your volcano.
Now that you are done with your volcano, it is time to add some fun to it! Fill the bottle halfway with warm water and a few drops of food dye, preferably red. Then, put about 6 drops of the dishwashing soap into the mixture, 2 tablespoons of baking soda and lastly, vinegar.
Congratulations, you just created an erupting volcano!
