Volcano experiment

With no school this week we decided to tackle our volcano project that I had intentionally set aside for after our visit to Mt. Kilauea in Hawaii. Waiting several days for the paper mache to dry was a test in patience but well worth the excitement. Friends were at our home during different stages in the project and Roo was anxious to share. “Pretty cool” according to Roo.

Roo building the cone shape with paper mache. It took several days to dry.

Yoshito helped to paint the cone dark brown. Later that night, Roo added the red for the hot lava look.
The next day he and Kieran played scientist and created fizzy eruptions with baking soda and red vinegar.

Then they dressed up as super heroes.

The kit was from a New Zealand company called seedling.
