How Do You Make A Simple Model Volcano?
A simple model volcano can be made at home with a few basic materials. The homemade volcano is a timeless science experiment, fun for children and adults of all ages. The project is intended to demonstrate a basic volcanic function by creating an “eruption” from a chemical reaction. The process of “building” the volcano, decorating it and, finally, watching it erupt is not only enjoyable but also safe and relatively simple. Construct a stage for your volcano (this serves as the “ground”). If you plan on using the volcano indoors, consider making a stage with raised edges to prevent overflow. Let the volcano size dictate the stage size; make sure the edge is at least 6 inches away from the volcano base (all sides). The stage needs to be sturdy enough to support your volcano without bending; a quarter-inch-thick sheet of plywood works fine for an outdoor volcano; a large baking sheet works fine for an indoor volcano (triple-stacked, if using disposable pans). Construct your “magma” chamb
